The Allan Shawn Feinstein Hunger Challenge - ends on April 30th therefore your food or monetary donations toward food this month are truly appreciated. To get full details on the Allan Shawn Feinstein Foundation Challenge visit their website feinsteinfoundation.org.

New Building Project Appeal
- responses continue to come in on a regular basis. We are eternally grateful for all the donations we have received to date from so many. Our website is updated often throughout the month to reflect our latest total donation amount and donors list, so we invite you to visit our website often for the latest status.
 
The Keyport Ministerium Food Pantry like many other organizations like ours rely not only on food donations but also on financial donations in order to continue to meet the demand of so many that need our assistance and to meet our operational expenses. All monetary donations received based on the donor’s instructions either go toward our operational expenses, which consists of our monthly expenses (phone, rent, etc.) as well as buying additional food throughout the month when we start getting low or toward our building fund. We want to make sure that all our current and potential donors know that no one at the pantry (Board of Trustees, Executive Director, Associate Director, Registrar, Website Consultant and the rest of the personnel) receives any monetary compensation for their services.
 
WE ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS and our only compensation is the thank you we receive from our clients, donors/ supporters and knowing that when someone walks through our doors for assistance we were able to help them to the best of our ability. 
 
As always should you want to visit us or have any specific questions, comments, etc. feel free to contact us during our hours of operation.  All of us at the KMFP and all our clients continue to be eternally grateful for your everlasting friendship and support.
