As part of the first KNIA/KRLS Big Red Radio Food Drive Radiothon, those who use the services of the Pella Community Food Shelf shared their stories on the air.

Vanessa Sutherland has been a client for eight years, and says she’s thankful for the opportunities provided by having her grocery expenses covered on a regular basis, especially as finances are tight or difficult to manage.

Sutherland encourages anyone who needs help to go to the Pella Food Shelf on Tuesday mornings and evenings and support their families.

Vanessa was featured on Let’s Talk Pella Tuesday. Hear from others who use the Pella Food Shelf in the audio player below:
