Audrey’s Resale Boutique is pleased to announce a donation of $1,000 to the Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry associated with the Ridge Church in Pea Ridge. The food pantry distribute­s food, as well as household needs, to those in need in the community. It was founded in June 2009. It has grown through the years now supporting between 1,500 and 1,800 people a month. Between 60 and 70 volunteers support the operation.

The Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry is located near the church at 788 N. Curtis Ave., Pea Ridge. It is open from 9 to 11 a.m. Tuesday and Saturday and from 4 to 6 p.m. on the first and third Wednesdays.

The food pantry plays a vital role in helping families and individual­s facing food insecurity by providing access to essential groceries and other essential items.

In addition to the food pantry, two events are held during the holidays. The Thanksgivi­ng Meal Giveaway in November and the Wonderland Toy Express in December were a huge success. About 500 children received gifts at the Toy Express.

The Audrey’s Board recognizes the incredible work that the Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry does, and board members are proud to support the mission to alleviate hunger and provide support to those in need. Board members firmly believe in the importance of community solidarity and are honored to contribute to this essential cause.

Audrey’s Resale Boutique is committed to making a positive difference in the community, and this donation to the Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry is just one of many ways the board members are working towards the goal. Board members encourage others to join us in supporting local organizati­ons dedicated to improving the lives of those less fortunate.
