During the past four years, the United Churches of Galena Food Pantry Golf and Silent Auction has raised over $80,000 to assist feeding needy families in the Galena area. In the past several years we have seen an increase in the number of families using the food pantry. We assist needy families on the second and fourth Thursday of the month at 219 Summit Street, Galena.
The revenue we raised from last year’s 4th Annual Golf Outing and Silent Auction is assisting in covering the food expenses for needy families for approximately four months, representing roughly 720 households and serving 1,961 people.
Your generosity and support are appreciated. We hope to see you at this year’s outing!
