Success... Achieved. What a wonderful community we live in. To experience the level of kindness given to this project by so many has been a gift. In this time of extreme tough economic conditions, It is incredible that we stock the shelves of the pantry to the brim each week. This feat is due mainly to the extreme generosity of the good people of this community in which we live. We are humbled to know you.
Thanks to You! We made a difference in our part of the world. We delivered hundreds of meals each week. The families in need have been so thankful for your food donations. We hear "Thank you and God bless you" constantly.
Meals served. WOW! Expecting to serve 500 meals each week, our meal count for last month went over 1500 meals per week. Please continue to help us keep up with the growing demand, every little bit helps.
We are ready and look forward to the challenge. Help us to seek out those in need as we expand our hours and services as need commands. Help us to see that nobody in our community goes to bed hungry tonight.
