The Salvation Army's Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in Camden will have even more options in the Choice Food Pantry after receiving two grants of $2,500 each from Investors Bank in partnership with the Roma Bank Community Foundation.

The Choice Food Pantry is open to Kroc Center members and area residents every day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and offers shelf-stable and fresh food options such as fruits, vegetables, grains, beans and some limited meat and dairy products. According to Coordinator Jacob Julian, the Choice Food Pantry serves about 180 families each month.

"The grants from the Investors Bank Foundation and Roma Bank Community Foundation enable the Kroc Center to make a bigger difference in our members' lives," said Major Terry L. Wood, the center's administrator. "Some of our members need assistance in the wake of an illness or a temporary job loss, or at certain times of the year. The ability to shop at the Choice Food Pantry — which looks like any other grocery store — provides them with the opportunity to supplement their groceries and maintain their dignity."
