Basic needs for home or pantry
Using donations from the community, stores, and even local Guilford County restaurants, the team at the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul want to keep people clothed and fed as well as their homes furnished. To this end are the free clothing bank as well as food pantry and free furniture bank. The three resources provide supplies to the needy, with vouchers given out in some cases as well.
All sorts of items may be given. But this will depend on the donation levels. Applicants to the pantry and clothing closet should not have expectations in place or be entitled. Instead anything given out from the agency should be thought of them going above and beyond to help. Find other free food pantries in Guilford County.
There may be free clothes, furniture, household supplies, school uniforms, notebooks, and job attire. Those are just some examples.
