Your continued response to the Food
Pantry Weekend is much needed and appreciated along with the weekly food contributions. With the economic problems upon us and children going back to school, there is an increased demand on our emergency supplies. So thank you so

much for all your donations & especially for your caring attention to this ongoing cause. Recently our supplies are very low and we sorely need coffee, tea, cereals, peanut butter, spaghetti sauces, school snacks, juices, soaps and shelf milk. The next Food Pantry Weekend Blitz will be October 4/5.
