American Legion helps (re)stock pantry

Posted on September 21, 2016

When Hurricane Hermine sent a storm surge sweeping through much of Steinhatchee, one of the locations flooded was Sowers of the Seed Food Pantry operated by Fellowship Baptist Church.

The charitable program, which began monthly food distributions for those in need in May, had three and a half feet of water flood its building during the storm, destroying its stock of food.
