Food Pantry Offers Indoor Hours During Winter

Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, located at 506 12th Avenue in New Glarus, provides a free outdoor “Food Pantry” that we lovingly call the “Blessing Box”. The pantry, located near the exit of Shepherd’s driveway, provides a convenient service to those who may be in need. The great part is that there are no “hours”, it is always open. The sad part is that during the winter months, the pantry can only be filled with items that will not freeze, so no liquids or canned goods.
