We give thanks to our extraordinary community which continues to bless us. Through your food and financial donations we provided turkeys, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie filling to more than 800 families this week. Throughout the year, more than 25,000 individuals haven’t had to worry about where their next meal comes from because of YOU. Thank you to our supporters, large and small.
We give thanks to our outstanding volunteers. This valiant team toils outdoors in the rain, heat and cold to distribute more than 2 tons of food every week. We truly could not do what we do without YOU. Thank you to our volunteers, one and all.
We owe a special thank you to Sandy Matthews, our indefatigable operations director. Sandy volunteers her time – 40+ hours a week – to keep our pantry running. We are in awe of the organization and efficiency she brings to our pantry. And we are humbled by the kindness and compassion that she shows to each and every person – clients and volunteers alike.
Lastly, we give thanks to the families that we feed. We have met countless new faces this year – many of whom have never faced circumstances where food security was a concern. Universally, those that we have fed have been grateful and appreciative of the help that we are able to provide. We are inspired, motivated and privileged to be able to serve our neighbors.
On behalf of everyone who has volunteered, the families that we have fed and our Board of Directors, thank you for your support. Wishing you and yours a safe and joyous Thanksgiving.
Michael Burger, Board Chair
