The Tioga County Open Door Mission, a faith-based 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, has been devoted to serving the community through their food pantries, homeless shelter, and outreach programs since 1968. In order to expand their reach in the Waverly community, they are once again taking on a new project that will enable them to provide seniors in need with food and outreach services with the opening of their new Senior Food Pantry.
They have launched a campaign to raise $10,000 by June 1 on youcaring.com. The money raised will be used towards a heater for colder months as well as small building upgrades needed to make the space suitable for a pantry. You can find out more at youcaring.com by searching for “Waverly Senior Food Pantry”. They welcome your support in their efforts to create a hunger-free community by taking unneeded stress out of the lives of senior neighbors, easing anxieties and providing some relief from not knowing where the next meal will come from.
