I’m a little early; however, I’m going on a much-needed vacation and won’t be at the pantry for March 1st. I’ll get right to the business at hand, Microsoft has seen fit to block us from our Hotmail account. I apologize if you have been e-mailing us and are starting to get mad because you are not getting any replies. We do have another e-mail account which is MFP6448@gmail.com. If you want to use that I should be able to get back to you. We have finally finished sorting and stocking all of the donations from the Holidays. Our community has been great in supporting us. I can’t thank you enough. We are as busy as ever with approximately 65 families every week. Our corporate donations have kept us from purchasing and groceries or meat. We only purchase milk & eggs. Spring is right around the corner which makes our job a lot easier. We don’t have to navigate inclement weather when we have to go around town to pick up donations and we don’t have to serve our families on a Thursday entirely from inside. Easter is right around the corner, and we should be pretty well set with hams. Walmart donated all of their leftover from Christmas. They have been taking up much needed freezer space for the last month. I think that is about it. As always thanks for keeping us in mind when you do your grocery shopping. Thanks for your generosity!
