Princeton Pantry
A bag of food from an anonymous donor hangs on the door of the Princeton Pantry in Princeton, Minn., on Nov. 14, 2012. Community members regularly drop by with food or cash offerings, often without leaving their names. Because the food shelf is only open three days a week, people also leave donations at a local auto store.

Anonymous donation
A Princeton man wishing to remain anonymous stopped by the food shelf on November 14, 2012, with a $100 donation. People often give bags of food, and sometimes food shelf coordinator Joyce Neumann finds cash hidden at the bottom.

Shannon Huisman
Shannon Huisman, 45, is one of more than 25 volunteers at the Princeton Pantry. She also occasionally uses the food shelf and offers her time as a way to give back to the community. "I'm not able to give back financially right now," Husiman said. "To see people with the groceries they need means a lot to me."
