Established as Traded Treasures & Community Food Pantry, this Non-Profit Organization obtained its 501(c)(3) status on November 1, 2013. Formerly recognized as “The Community Thrift Store and Food Pantry,” an initiative of Ripon Community Church, our core objective has always been to address hunger and aid the underprivileged. Since August 1, 2006, we have been under consistent management, dedicated to making a difference in our community. Each dollar contributed through cash donations or store sales directly supports our Food Pantry, enabling us to assist those facing hardships. Our clientele comprises a diverse range of individuals, including mothers and children escaping domestic violence, families grappling with financial constraints, and elderly individuals navigating life on a fixed income. At Community Food Pantry, we strive to extend a helping hand to those in need, fostering a sense of unity and support within our society. Generated using this place's available information
