WHAT IS PRESTON’S PANTRY PROJECT?
In May of 2018, Preston coordinated a food drive to benefit Boyertown Area Multi-Service as a school project. Onlookers were inspired as an eight-year-old taught us all a lesson on charity and caring for others. In a devastating blow to the community, on July 11, 2019, Preston’s life was cut short in a flash flood incident along with his mother, Pamela, who was eight months pregnant with baby Evelynn. In memory of Preston and his selfless contribution to helping others, a local group of dedicated community volunteers have banned together to form “Preston’s Pantry Project.” “Preston’s Pantry Project” was created to carry on Preston’s Legacy. The Project hopes to involve community members and local businesses in an annual drive to support Boyertown Area Multi-Service while honoring Preston’s wish of wanting to help our friends and neighbors in need.
