Our new street pantry is ready. Here are some items we could collect for it, to start: white crew socks, non- perishable food, and toiletries. Really, we can collect just about anything that might help meet the daily needs of the homeless and the poor.  

Murphysboro Community Garden basics: Gardeners can grow whatever they want for their family in exchange for watering the whole garden once per week. Soil, tomato cages, tools and water are provided. We have 9 boxes where we grow vegetables for the Murphysboro Food Pantry. Participating in watering the garden helps us maintain these boxes.
