Bud, Grace and all the staff at Veterans and Patriots Thrift Store continue to astound us with their generous gifts to our community. Not only do they offer beautiful clothes, furniture and household items at rates people can afford- they have a non-perishable food collection going on every day they are open all year long! The Veterans and Patriots Thrift Store also supports the Pantry financially. We are able to pick up donated food every week -often twice. They are true partners and quite a blessing in the effort to reduce hunger right here in Cape May County!
