About this listen

Lori Cosgriff, President of the 29 Palms Food Pantry, discusses her background and the

pantry's operations. They serve 200-250 families per month through three distribution programs, including a USDA distribution and a senior-focused distribution. The pantry faces challenges like rising food costs and fewer donations due to the pandemic, but relies on community support and volunteers to keep running. Lori emphasizes the importance of treating recipients with respect and understanding their struggles, while also encouraging self-sufficiency when possible. She expresses interest in increased collaboration and education around food insecurity in the local community.
