Thanks For A Successful 2012

       We are very greatful to each of you who contributed to the pantry's success in 2012.  Thanks to you, we were able to help over 3900 families during the year, representing over 11,000 individuals!   November was our busiest month when we helped over 400 families!  During the holidays we presented over 700 families with turkeys or hams along with items needed to complete a Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner.
        2013 has started off with a bang!  On January 2nd alone, over 47 families came to the pantry for assistance.   Unfortunately, things haven't improved for many.
         On Wednesday, January 16, 2013 we were once again blessed by Sweetbay in The Villages with 2040 Box Out Hunger Packages donated by patrons of the store.  Each box contains Oatmeal, Cereal, Rice, Green Beans, Chicken Noodle Soup, Mac & Cheese, Pasta, Pasta Sauce and Canned Chicken.  The value of this donation is $20,400!!!
         As we look to 2013 we wish you and our clients a healthy and blessed new year.
