Not only was it a busy day at the pantry with 120 families shopping throughout the morning, we welcomed a Mission Group, Faith Alive, from Hickory in the afternoon. They were spending the weekend at Lutheridge and part of their weekend was to volunteer in the garden and tour the pantry. They arrived at 2:00 on Saturday, and worked hard in the garden spreading a tarp over the watermelons and placing sandbags on the edge of tarp to hold it in place. They weeded and mulched the raised beds experiencing many tasks involved in growing organic produce for the pantry, The last part of the afternoon, they toured the pantry, stocked a few of the shelves, straightened the cans, broke down the cardboard - recycled it and wrote over 100 cards to our neighbors which will be distributed this Saturday. A Good Time was had by all!!!

There's a saying......"When it rains...it pours!" And that can be a good thing! Think of our current drought conditions just in our area! Our weekend rains were welcomed at my home. For the past several months we have been advertising in our newsletter for additional support for Spanish speaking individuals to assist us on Saturdays at the pantry. Rosa reached out to us from Manna with recommendations of individuals who were interested in assisting. We truly appreciate the staff at Manna reaching out the hand of friendship. This is important as we shop with our "neighbors" to be able to communicate with them.

When the Manna truck delivered our order last Wednesday, there were several large pallets of items including ones that have been sparse since Hurricane Helene. Not only was there meat, but also several hundred pounds of vegetables. (cabbage, carrots, turnips) As a reminder, each week we offer enough food for 11 meals or 3 1/2 days of food which includes meat, milk, eggs, bread, peanut butter, fruits, vegetables, and extra proteins. Other items we received were flour and cornmeal, for baking.... which were very popular in the distribution on Saturday. Mayo, ketchup, oil, and jelly are condiments, we are offer from Manna most weeks. Salad dressing, vinegar, and sauces were delivered in what Manna calls mixed boxes. Our neighbors are appreciative when we can offer salad dressing and toppings. Inquiring minds might ask, “What are their favorite toppings?” Ranch or Italian dressing!

What a day filled with happiness this past Saturday! The shelves were filled to the brim thanks to the extra pickups from Manna and Sav-Mor. Thank you Doug A. and Kim P. for your team of ready willing and waiting volunteers to unload the truck filled with pallets at our dock. Neighbors were overjoyed to find an assortment of meat to select from and a variety of fresh produce especially the carrots, beets, colorful bell peppers, tomatoes, and apples. Did I mention the generous donation of 100's of seed packets! As our neighbors exited the parking lot, a table filled with veggie seed and herbs were offered to one and all!
