Giving Back to Gallup: Supporting The Community Pantry
As many of you know, we wrapped up our fundraising efforts for local food banks earlier this year, and we’re so excited to finally share the story behind it. This blog is dedicated to The Community Pantry, the incredible food bank our Gallup store location proudly partnered with during our most recent campaign.
Our journey with The Community Pantry didn’t just begin in January—it started months earlier. Back in October 2025, our team began capturing footage throughout the fundraising process, documenting everything from behind-the-scenes planning to hands-on community involvement. Over time, those moments came together to tell a much bigger story. We’re thrilled to say that we’ve compiled all of that footage into a full, in-depth YouTube video that showcases the heart of this initiative from start to finish. 👏
The video offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to support a local food bank. You’ll see the fundraising efforts in action, the shopping trips where donations were carefully selected, and the unloading and delivery of food that ultimately made its way into the hands of families who need it most. It’s an honest look at how community support big and small adds up to meaningful change.
Over the course of three months, our Gallup location raised $1,230 and donated more than 2,000 pounds of food to The Community Pantry. Those numbers represent far more than totals on a page, they represent meals, relief, and support for families across our community. None of this would have been possible without the generosity of our customers, team members, and everyone who chose to be part of this mission.
