Company description
The Corner Food Pantry is a non‐denominational charity offering one of the most basic human needs — nutritious food.
All of our funding comes from private sources — our friends, neighbors, faith-based organizations, foundations, churches, and schools. Our administrative expenses remain low because we are an all‐volunteer organization, so we can spend the private donations we receive to provide food for the hungry.
