Join the Challenge!
We’re frequently asked what our most needed items are (thank you). This was the inspiration for our monthly pantry challenges, and thanks to you, they’ve been wildly successful. Our pantry challenges focus on our most needed items, things we’re low on—and we’re always happily overwhelmed by the response.
Each month, we put the call out for a particular food or other essential to fill our pantry shelves. We hope you’ll will be part of our monthly challenges to help support the nearly 900 families we serve monthly. Here’s what’s coming up for the year (subject to change based on need).
March Challenge: Toilet Paper
Everyone (per family/individual) who shops at BHOB gets two rolls of toilet paper. TP is one of the most expensive items for us to purchase on our own, and with serving around 900 families monthly, we go though it quickly. For many of our pantry guests, leaving with toilet paper means one less expense they don’t have to worry about on a tight budget. Any donations—even a roll—helps stock our shelves with this much-needed essential.
