The board of directors of the Kewanee Food Pantry announced Thursday that Sarah Titlow has been named the pantry’s new director.
Titlow grew up helping at the food pantry. Through the years, she helped fill distribution boxes and intake with the annual Post Office Food Drive.
Since the sudden death of previous Food Pantry director, Lisa Janey, Titlow has been overseeing the operation of the pantry on an interim basis.
Her history with both the Kewanee Food Pantry and as a teacher at Kewanee High School for 34 years comes through.
“I am very aware of the need for the Kewanee Food Pantry and how our community relies on it,” she said. “I look forward to working with this great group of volunteers and learning more about how we can continue to help Kewanee residents.”
The Kewanee Food Pantry provides monthly food assistance to individuals and families in Kewanee who are experiencing food insecurity and temporary setbacks.
The non-profit agency offers reliable support and a welcoming, safe place to receive it. The organization’s mission is to strengthen our neighbors with dignity, compassion and consistent access to nutritious food.
