Live Civilly Food Pantry Opens at St. Matthew

Library's Food for Fines Program will benefit new service.

The generosity of Moorestown students has helped launch the live civilly Food Pantry at St. Matthew Lutheran Church.

The Buss girls–Anna, 11; Grace, 6 and Abigail, 4–were delivering food from their second food drive to Bridge of Peace food pantry in Camden. Despite their ages, the girls were moved by the experience. In fact, as they were leaving, Grace asked: “What happens when it runs out?” And with that question, a movement was started. The girls, with help from their parents Kahra and Joe, have formed live civilly to help in their efforts to bring awareness to hunger. The girls’ first food drive was in 2009. A genuine response to a dinner shared with the homeless at their church, St. Matthew Lutheran Church. “As we were leaving the girls asked ‘Where are they going?’” …
