What’s up at KLS Community Food Pantry

Throughout the year, a number of activities are held to support the work of the KLS Food Pantry.  Annual events include “Stuff the Cruiser” (July), “Scouting for Food” (November), and the “Shredding Event” (August).
In addition, over the course of the year many local businesses, community service organizations, school groups, and others conduct food collections to help stock our shelves. Check this page for upcoming events.
