The Polson Loaves and Fish Pantry has experienced an increase in the number of families served and a limited supply of some commodities to give out. Potatoes have been out-of-stock for a few weeks. In response, a request was made to Lake Farms for a pallet of potatoes at an agreed-on cost.
On Thursday, after the snowstorm had already interfered with their loading of trucks headed to Washington for spring planting, it was arranged that a pallet would be available in the afternoon. Amidst what seemed to be an extremely complicated and busy sorting and loading process, Dan Lake interrupted his supervision of these activities to fill a pallet and load it for a pantry pickup. When offered a check, Dan stated the potatoes were free and the Lake Farms’ contribution to helping our community. Their generosity will provide numerous families with a local product that is needed but more importantly, their gift adds to the wonderful sense of community support that our pantry experiences.
