Mom’s Pantry – LRGB Grant Recipient

Lerner and Rowe Gives Back September 26, 2023

Making sure no man, woman, or child is hungry

Sadly, one in three households in Arizona experience food uncertainty. Thankfully, Mom’s Pantry shines like a beacon of hope during the current food drought that grossly impacts disadvantaged populations throughout the Phoenix Valley. As a 2023 Lerner & Rowe Gives Back grant recipient, Mom’s Pantry plans to use its $5,000 gift to stock the pantry with pallets of food, fresh fruits, and vegetables to last for the next quarter.

However, the need for proper nourishment is never ending and Mom’s Pantry continues to seek out resources to feed individuals, families, seniors, the disabled, the homeless, and more in need. Through empathy, deliberateness, and generous donations from individuals, grants, and corporations, Mom’s Pantry remains open so that every guest that seeks out help has enough food to last a week.
