The Windsor Locks Food Pantry, under the umbrella of Social Services, provides food weekly for many food deficient families in town. I've been volunteering there since the beginning of this year (minus the three months when I was recovering from a broken wrist). Couple things. Stockpiles / shelves are getting seriously low. Our pantry is mainly dependent on Foodshare and donations from locals. Families are vetted. Some of the recipients are homeless or live in cars. Consider volunteering at a local pantry or soup kitchen, and consider donating money and / or food. It seems as though our director is weekly shopping at Walmart to buy canned and boxed non-perishable items that we would otherwise run out of. Finally, if any of the readers of this review want to donate to the Windsor Locks Food Pantry, message me and I'll send you specifics on how to do so. Thank you
