WHEW! What a month!
December was an extremely busy month, with lots of food drives, our Toy Shoppe, and all sorts of activity. After a long year and a crazy month, we are taking a short break to refresh ourselves for the new year! Our offices and pantries will be closed until Monday, January 4, 2010. In the meantime, you will find all necessary information below, or you can click on the navigation at the top of the page to find out more about what we do.
Thank you all for your wonderful support throughout 2009! Without our volunteers, we would not be able to accomplish all that we do.
THANK YOU!
PANTRY CLOSINGS:
Our pantry located at New Harvest Christian Church will reopen on Monday, January 4, 2010. Our mobile pantry will not be on the move again until Thursday, January 7. Please click on the “Pantries” tab to learn more about our pantries.
