A Meal for All now offers a Community Food Pantry at the Pakenham Branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library.
Similar to the Community Pantry in the Almonte, this is a true grassroots, local initiative, the motto for which is give what you can, and take what you need.
Drop off shelf-stable items to the Community Pantry at the Pakenham library, like canned soups, chili or meats, instant oatmeal packets, dry pet food and personal hygiene supplies.
(No glass jars, homemade items or open packages, please).
Financial donations can be made through the Lanark County Food Bank (just include a note “For a Meal For All”)

A Meal For All also provides a hot breakfast at the Community Presbyterian Church (111 Church) for anyone in the community every Thursday morning where you can also pick up a meal-to-go for later.
