Heartwarming story!… We had an anonymous person drop off almost 200 items for our food drive collection today!! This person said they asked everyone that came to their family Thanksgiving dinner to bring items to be able to donate to the food pantry. Here is what this person told us: “Our family is blessed to be able to come together to share a huge thanksgiving meal where we become extremely full and usually have enough leftovers to take home. Unfortunately, there are other families that are not able to do the same. So if we are blessed enough to prepare a big meal for ourselves, we should also provide meals for others who are less fortunate. It’s the right thing to do.”
It’s people like this that make our community so special…and there are many people like this in our community. When people need help, others step up to make sure basic needs are met. As of today, our community has donated 269 items! This gets us to a quarter of our goal of 1,000 items by December 20th. There are 18 days left…it’s a big goal, but with everyone’s help we know we can get there!
