Local food and resource hub CMD’s Pantry asks council for help after serving roughly 1,500 families
Summary
Tracy Presley of CMD's Pantry told the council the nonprofit serves five counties and about 1,500 families, helping with food, energy bills and healthcare linkages. She asked county officials to note the group's volunteer-operated services and left flyers for follow-up.
Tracy Presley, speaking for CMD’s Pantry and Resource Hub, used the public‑comment period to introduce the organization’s services and needs. Presley said CMD’s started in 2020, now serves five counties (including Lower Florence), and "we service roughly 1,500 families/individuals, roughly," providing food assistance, help with energy bills, health‑care linkages and casework from licensed social‑work volunteers.
Presley told council members the group operates with volunteers and is seeking visibility and assistance from officials. She offered informational flyers and said she would remain after the meeting to speak with anyone interested. The chair thanked Presley for coming and recognized the pantry’s role in serving elderly residents and families who need help with paperwork and access to services.
Next steps: Presley left one‑page flyers for staff and council; no formal county action on the record was requested during the meeting but the speaker asked officials to note the pantry's presence and needs.
