Bucks Mont Katrina Relief Project

Food Pantry next focus of BMKP

Ground-breaking took place Aug. 26 to begin building a new Hancock County Food Pantry to replace the lost building that was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Local leaders asked us to consider the project after our successful campaign to raise funds and build the Hancock County Child Development Center, the first public building to be built after the storm.

We are building a new 3,000-square-foot structure for the Hancock County Food Pantry, the only full-time food pantry in the county. It was founded in 1986 and is staffed entirely by volunteers. The pantry is currently working out of temporary facilities.
