Dennison is now home to a Little Free Food Pantry

Some months back Christy Whipple realized that people in her community may be struggling to make ends meet. She went to local businesses and grocery stores asking for food or donations. After setting up a space on her property in Sogn she realized the area may not be accessible enough so she came to the Dennison City Council to ask if something could be set up in Dennison. Once that was secured, she needed to find someone to build a little pantry. Boy Scout Troup 239 and their leader, John Metcalf, stepped up to build one and even installed it. It was placed south of the Dennison city hall building, just behind the bulletin board along main street. The citizens of Dennison and nearby communities would like to say Thank You to Christy Whipple, the Boy Scouts from Troop 239 and John Metcalf for their kind and generous contribution! Christy stated "In the spirit of our generous community, I am asking for any cash or food donation to keep the pantry stocked. This is something for the entire community and I believe in helping and caring for our neighbors less fortunate. It is the sign of a thriving community." If you would like to get in touch with her, you can email christylwhipple27@gmail.com.
