The reality for many Springs families
Many families face financial strain, especially during winter months when heating costs soar. The combined effects of the pandemic and rising inflation have only intensified these challenges. In 2024 alone, Springs Food Pantry supported 650 families with roughly 2200 family members seeking help - that’s over 55,000 total visits throughout the year.
Monetary donations are our lifeblood—essential for providing food and support to those in need. Hunger is a pressing issue that affects our entire community.
