The Founders Award recognizes someone with the Founders core values.
This year’s recipients are Albert & Marion Gausz. Albert and Marion are longtime supporters of the Pantry. The Gausz family remembers their humble beginnings and they have always appreciated what the Family Pantry does for the Cape Community. The couple is a frequent visitor to the Pantry, visiting with staff and volunteers. We are delighted to recognize all Marion and Al have done for the Pantry.
