Welcome
to Bill's Pantry!
Bill's Pantry, Inc., is an all-volunteer organization
dedicated to meeting the nutritional needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS
in the Twin Cities.

|
Our
clients have told us that breakfast is their most important
meal of the day, the meal that helps them digest their
first round of medications.
Clients receive a weekly grocery list from which to choose items they like to
prepare for themselves.
Bill's distributes primarily breakfast
food items to an average of 45 Twin Cities families every
week who consider Bill’s Pantry to be a lifeline for healthy food. Four
members of Knox Presbyterian Church serve on the Bill's Pantry Board of Directors.
We encourage members to pick up their orders on Saturday
mornings. For those who cannot, we have delivery
to some areas of metro Minneapolis/St. Paul.

A SPECIAL THANKS |
Bill's
Pantry would like to extend a special thanks to A
Piece of Cake Bakery and Great
Harvest Bread Company --
both on Selby Avenue -- for their continued support
by providing weekly sweets and breads. Our clients
greatly appreciate their generosity.
Stop by these fine establishments sometime to thank them -- and purchase some
goodies! |
- A
million thanks to Macalester
Plymouth United Church (St.
Paul) for raising money, so we can get a new double
door
commercial
freezer and a whole
bunch of Rubbermaid tubs for the cereal.
- Crossroads
Church of Cottage Grove has truly been a blessing
for Bill's Pantry. They consistently send volunteers
and drivers. (Thank your driver when you get
your delivery. They've come a long way!) Adrienne especially
appreciated the post-construction clean-up crew.
- A
big thank you to both Crossroads and Macalester Plymouth
Churches for adding us to their annual budgets.
