Joe LeBlanc Food Pantry has received a $20,000 donation from Kitchens Law Firm to support ongoing efforts to combat hunger in the community, representatives from both organizations announced.
The contribution marks the beginning of what the law firm described as a broader commitment to giving back throughout the year. Pantry leaders said the gift will help sustain and expand services for individuals and families facing food insecurity.
“Kitchens Law Firm is grateful for the opportunity to support Joe LeBlanc Food Pantry with a $20,000 donation as we begin our efforts to help fight hunger in our community,” the firm said in a statement. “Organizations like Joe LeBlanc Food Pantry do essential work every day, and we’re honored to stand alongside them in supporting neighbors and families in need. This is a small step in a larger commitment to giving back, and we look forward to continuing this work throughout the year.”
Joe LeBlanc Food Pantry officials said the public show of support carries special meaning as the organization continues its mission.
“Man, if Mr. Joe were here for this…. We are beyond grateful for every dollar that comes through our organization to help us fight the never ending battle against hunger, every single dollar,” said Jessica Lewis of the Joe Lebranc Food Pantry. “When a business makes such a bold commitment to support your organization so publicly it feels a little different. It humbles you, it energizes you and it reminds you that God’s Word is true and He will always provide for the vision He has placed inside of you and your team.”
Lewis stated that they are honored by the partnership and emphasized the importance of community involvement in addressing hunger.
“We are extremely honored that the Kitchens Law Firm family has placed such value in what we do that they would decide as a team to sow financially into our organization in such a huge way. We are excited about this partnership and to say we are grateful feels like such an understatement,” said Lewis.
Lewis also expressed optimism about the year ahead, citing plans for growth and expanded outreach.
“2026 is off to a great start. We have a BIG vision, BIG goals, and great friends to help along the way. I don’t know exactly what God has planned for this year but I can tell you now it’s going to be BIG and we are here for it!”
