ELMSDALE: The community is giving back to those who need it, and that has led a community pantry to expand.
The expanded Giving Pantry is now open 24/7 at the Cup of Soul in Elmsdale, and bigger with more room for more food.
It is for anyone who may need some extra or just need.
The Giving Pantry is for people to take what they need but also for those who can leave what they can. It will be replenished daily.
The community can donate by dropping off goods to Cup of Soul in Elmsdale.
