Food Pantry Pushing To Meet Goal As Construction Continues

Construction is underway for the new Turtle Lake Food Pantry, located on Elm Street, behind the Village Hall. With the walls and roof up it is expected inside work will commence by the end of the month. “There is a major problem, however,” explained Food Pantry volunteer Frank Maas. “Fund raising efforts have fallen short of the $150,000 goal. To date $125,000 have been raised through foundation grants, area business and community organization donations, and funding from private individuals. This has left us with a $25,000 shortfall consequently.”
