Our Pantry is Empty

APO relies on the generous contributions of the community to keep our pantry stocked. At the moment our pantry is completely bare.  APO typically maintains a pantry stocked with personal care items and house cleaning items that cannot be purchased with food stamps. The pantry is dependent on donations, so supplies are limited and availability varies. Stocking the pantry is a great way for churches, schools, and other groups to assist persons living with HIV in the Ozarks.

We are reaching out to those in our community asking you to please consider donating items to the APO pantry so that we may continue to provide necessary hygiene items to those who would otherwise go without.
