TESTIMONIALS
Lifesavers Food Pantry has been a blessing to me and my family over the years.
The workers are pleasant and seem loyal to serving others.
With the price of food nowadays, being able to receive food from the pantry has been a tremendous
blessing to our household. We have also received non-food items like soap,
detergent, household cleaners, hygiene items, and more.
Thanks for all you do.

The food pantry helps me a lot. I am an older woman and don't qualify for federal aid such as
food stamps. Because of the food I get from the pantry, I am able to use the money I would spend
on food items on other necessary items for my household. The Lifesavers pantry really
helps me save and I am so grateful.
