On October 13, Emanuel celebrated the ministry of Vanessa's Pantry and marked the next chapter of its life as a part of the new Choice Food and Resource Center, a client-choice food pantry at the Unity Square Community Center. During the celebration, the Emanuel Community Development Corporation presented a $5,000 check to the Unity Square Community Center to purchase food for the Choice Food and Resource Center. Emanuel presented an additional $5,000 check to Unity Square from its endowment fund. The ECDC also presented $2,000 to the Interfaith Winter Shelter, which is reorganizing this year to provide overnight shelter to fifteen men in various houses of worship throughout the coldest months of the winter. From clients to volunteers to donors, Emanuel is grateful to everyone who has supported our pantry over the years!
