It's Halloween at the pantry.  Costumes galore. 
S P O O K Y  to  PRINCE AND PRINCESS.  
Trick or Treat at the pantry will be
October 25  from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm
and October 26 from 8:00 am to noon.


We are so excited that our Grand Opening will be Thursday, October 10, 2019, from 4:00 pm until 6:00 pm.   The businesses and people of Livingston County have been so very generous in helping provide a place to take care of our needy.  We will have our ribbon cutting, a brief meeting, finger foods, refreshments, and a tour of the building.  Please come and be proud of this communities success in taking care of our needy.
 
November is coming fast.  Thanksgiving is closer than we think.  There are families who will have no Thanksgiving dinner without our help.  If you can donate one or more of the following food items, it would help tremendously.  Box turkey dressing, turkey gravy, instant potatoes, green beans, corn, canned cranberries, canned pumpkin pie filling, pie crusts. 
We will be accepting donations from the
first of October until November 20th.
 
Our Winter Coat giveaway is November 8th and 9th
Please drop off any donations the week prior.
 
I know it sounds like a long time away but we are gearing up for Christmas.  The Children's Shopping Store and the Parents Shopping Store.  Just an FYI for everyone...we cannot accept stuffed animals or pillows.  Thank you for your consideration.  Christmas gifts will be accepted starting November 15th.  The Christmas stores will be open every weekend in December.


 Our success is Your success.  Without each and everyone of you this Mission would not be possible.  I cannot say how much you mean to us.  THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
  
Have a Blessed Month

Our Mission.

Bountiful Harvest’s mission is to stamp out hunger in the Brighton area and Livingston County. This is being accomplished through food drives, donations from businesses in Brighton, monetary and food donations from church members, and collaborations with area churches and schools, OLHSA and purchasing low cost food from Gleaners Community Food Bank, local supermarkets and merchants.

Bountiful Harvest is a client choice pantry. We are a member of the Livingston County Hunger Council and are partnered with OLHSA, and Gleaners Community Food Bank. There is a Resource Navigator available to help families with such needs as applying for a Bridge Card and getting help with dental, vision and medical needs.
