Minnie?s Food Pantry is honored to be a recipient of GME Sun Club2019 Grant in an effort to advance sustainable communities.
Since inception, Minnie?s Food Pantry has placed an emphasis on the word ?healthy.? It is through healthyeating, healthyfinances, and healthyminds that lives can be transformed and long-term security can be achieved. Over the years, this mindset has become more of a lifestyle, and we are honored to partner with GME Sun Club to take our healthyorganization one step further, by utilizing renewable energy provided by a 120 kW Solar Array.

Over 50% of the facility’s electricity usage will be offset by a new 120 kW solar array donated by Sun Club.” –Stacy Mehlhoff, Executive Director of the Sun Club
