Angels’ Attic, located in Arcadia, serves over 300 residents each month. The food pantry provides families with select toiletries and clothing in addition to dry goods, produce and meat.

Angels’ Attic works closely with Hamilton Heights Youth Assistance to understand the needs of local families and what items kids are missing at home.

The $1,500 donation from Duke Energy provided around 700 pounds of food for Angels’ Attic and includes staples and protein-rich dry goods like peanut butter and jelly, chunky soups, beans, canned vegetables, pasta and more.

Residents in need can visit Angels’ Attic to ‘shop’ from 6 to 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Angels Attic is located at 105 E. Main St., Arcadia.
