“I never thought I would need a food pantry! So many years of being self-sufficient, but now I need help. It’s been a very difficult year dealing with stress from COVID-19, my health challenges and now I am struggling to pay my rent. I qualify for only $15.00 per month in food stamps. The Shirley Council on Aging told me about Loaves & Fishes. The food is wonderful and I feel so comfortable using the drive-thru service too. Thanks to all of you who help out in some way at the Pantry, you are much appreciated!” -Eileen, Shirley resident
