A Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, food pantry working to help people fight food insecurity recently got some help of its own.

The Upper Merion Community Cupboard was bustling with shopping carts Tuesday as families lined up to pick up the essentials.

The cupboard serves as many as 150 families per week, operations manager Angela Michael said.

The pantry offers fresh produce, meat, bread, eggs, dairy and more free of charge thanks to donations and volunteers.
