Maureen Hackett has a vision to feed the hungry.
It was that vision that resulted in the creation of the Gorham United Methodist Church Food Pantry, which opened its doors on Aug. 15 in a lower level room of the church on South Street.
“If you’re hungry, we want to feed you,” said Hackett, a retired medical secretary and Gorham resident.
The pantry was a way for Hackett to give back and she has been its driving force, even making her own contributions to get the pantry up and running.
Since opening, Hackett said people have come from locations throughout Ontario County for items, including Gorham, Canandaigua and Geneva.
