Good evening, everyone – today we served 95 families, with 193 adults, 131 children and 32 seniors, for a total of 356 people served.  We’ve been serving fewer families this month, hopefully because people are being called back to work.   We’ve been talking about how to keep the pantry going in the winter months withoutContinue reading “September 16, 2020”
