On Thursday (November 6th) our pantry experienced the effects of what the federal and state budgets impasse is having on those who depend on SNAP for food. I will not debate the right or wrongs of this benefit...the fact is people needed food and we were able to provide it. Praise and glory to our Lord and Savior for providing the resources - our food donors, financial donors, and our magnificent volunteers who worked diligently and with kindness until every family was served.

We also acknowledge the patience and understanding of those who waited in the long lines. People were socializing and some took advantage of the wait time to shop in our free clothing area.

One third of those we served were new clients, which greatly increases the amount of time it takes to register and process.

A huge thank you to each of our pantry and clothing volunteers! They stayed way beyond closing time and worked their butts off!

Now the work begins to replenish our shelves for the next distribution date in 2 weeks. Please pray for those who are struggling to feed their families and for those working to help provide food, especially during the holiday season. And also that our state and federal representatives will do the jobs they were elected to do and to prioritize PEOPLE, not POLITICS.

GOD BLESS US ALL!!
