our communities. So many of our neighbors are struggling to meet basic needs, and facing hunger on a daily basis. Children and the

elderly are especially vulnerable. We are so grateful for your hard work and generosity in helping our neighbors in need to access food in

an atmosphere of dignity and respect. It’s wonderful people like all of you that make it

possible to keep our\pantry stocked with food. You should feel proud knowing that, because of

you, less people in our community will go hungry. Hunger is something someone should

never have to fight alone!
