Episcopal SeniorLife Communities (ESLC) continued its commitment to supporting the Rochester community by donating 1,500 pounds of groceries and personal items to The People’s Pantry. The donations, collected and packed by volunteers from ESLC’s various communities, were delivered on Thursday, December 12.
Michael Durfee, Executive Director and Keith Lewis of The People’s Pantry facilitated the pickup of these much-needed supplies. The People’s Pantry, guided by its mission to address food insecurity with dignity and compassion, will distribute the items to individuals and families in need across the Rochester area.
The event organizer, Diane Cotton, emphasized the importance of community collaboration in the fight against food insecurity. “Each year, we see an incredible outpouring of generosity from our residents, families and staff,” said Cotton. “It’s an honor to partner with The People’s Pantry to extend this kindness to those who need it most.”
