Skeet's Food Pantry prepares holiday food baskets

[news]

Skeet's Food Pantry prepares nearly 40 holiday food baskets.

Once a month, Skeet's Food Pantry in Cranbury gives out two bags of groceries and day-old bread to its patrons.
And once a month, Fran Stewart, who runs the volunteer food pantry at the First Presbyterian Church of Cranbury, knows that she'll be seeing at least 20 familiar faces.

"Most of them are elderly or retired and are on a fixed income. Part of the reason we give out the food at the end of the month is because that is when people run out of money," said Ms. Stewart. "It's really meant to be a thing to tie people over."

But the holidays and cold weather are here, which means money is tight and more people are coming to the food pantry.
