The volunteers of Truth Foundational Ministries work to support the community of Edgecombe County that has limited access to affordable and nutritious food. By upgrading a 10-ft. building with an ADA compliant bathroom, kitchenette, office space and closet with storage, the organization can provide better access to healthy, fresh food for this community in need.

In order to become a sustainable food source for its community, the All Saints Episcopal Church Woodstock Pantry will outfit three food storage containers with electricity, appliances, shelving and lighting. Exterior upgrades include building a permanent patio covering, concrete work, landscaping and paint.

The updated New Franklin Park’s Community Corner will address the deep need for food stability among Dorchester residents and the broader community. This project will renovate the Community Corner to bring it up to compliance and create a welcoming space with more food storage to ensure fewer households in the community suffer from food insecurity.

After more than 15 years at its current location, the Community Food Basket — Idaho Falls is moving to a larger facility to allow them to better serve thousands of community members with food insecurities. The Lowe’s Hometowns grant will provide the necessary building renovations to allow the food pantry to operate in this new space, including installation of double doors, a usable loading/unloading area, new floors, and a new food donation shed with power and heat for after-hours food donation drop-offs.
