Food Pantries

With the higher utilies expected this winter many families in Springfield Missouri are planning now to prepare. However, sometimes there simply is not enough funds to go all the away around the budget.  Sometimes a choice has to be made. Which do I pay this month, rent, utilities or groceries. Something must get left out and often it is the groceries. If you know of a family in need this winter here is a list of food pantries that might be able to ease the crunch.

Thank You to Kathy Lutz and Rob Brantley for this compilation of information and the printer friendly version as well.

The Grant Beach Neighborhood Betterment Association is a group of citizens working together to maintain and improve the quality of living in our area. We meet monthly on a regular basis to address neighborhood concerns, and encourage residents to start smaller neighborhood watch groups in their block. We believe that people should actively participate as citizens in a democracy and as neighbors in in a community. We are a group of citizens interested in working together to maintain and improve the living quality of our neighborhood, motivate the city to address our concerns, be a spawning ground for neighborhood watch programs and build a sense of community among us. Working together, there is little that cannot be done, working apart there is little that can be done.

Mission Statement: "Improving the quality of life in our neighborhood"

This website is simply a tool we use to help keep our neighbors connected to each other, to their neighborhood and to their City of Springfield, Missouri. Please consider attending the monthly meeting. Potluck Dinner for the whole family and Free child care for the meeting
