Supply is going down and demand is going up at food pantries. But, the clients may not be who most expect.

One pantry in Elkhart, Ind. had to take special measures to meet the needs of working people who could not make ends meet. The Church Community Services food pantry has seen a shift in its clientele. More and more people who are employed but living paycheck to paycheck are coming in, according to the management at the pantry.

Now, the pantry will stay open late to cater to what the food services director calls the "working poor."

“It’s people that are working and working hard,” said Mary Kneller, food services director.”Some of them have two or three jobs and still can’t afford to buy food. It’s becoming a real need.”

Many of the employed clients could not make it to pantry before the 3:45 p.m. closing time.

“People are working and they don't get off until four, then had to rush to get here,” pantry client Vera Moseberry said.

To deal with this growing need, the pantry door will stay open just a bit longer.

“We will not close until seven o’clock no matter what,” Kneller said.

A Tuesday evening opportunity to help lessen the burden.

“When you see people who come in line, with tears in their eyes because they have never had to ask for help in their lives...to be able to walk them through with dignity and respect is priceless,” Kneller said.
