Things are shaping up at the pantry garden.

Four Nativity members collaborated in creating a colorful mural to decorate our tool shed. Designed by Ken Oehm, the artwork was brilliantly executed by Garden Master Doug Kearny supported by Paster Sean and Rubye.

Additionally, all plants appear to be growing well. Fresh produce is a favorite of many clients and soon we will be harvesting and offering it on future Saturday mornings.

Saturday was a very busy day for our volunteers at the pantry. We welcomed 106 households representing 370 individuals and registered 6 new families composed of 18 individuals.

Through 14 weeks of 2024 we are running 9% and 18% increases over 2023 for households and household members respectively.

On behalf of the Executive Committee, thank you to our volunteers and our area churches, civic groups, local merchants, and families for all you do to feed our community by helping to reduce food insecurity.  We thank you and appreciate your food and monetary donations.         

For The Executive Committee,

Fred Yopps
