What's Happening in 2013

Thank you once again for your tremendous support of your Christian Food Pantry in Lady Lake.  We were able to help 957 families between January 1 and March 31, 2013!  These families represent 2706 individuals.  This was a 7% increase over our 2012 first quarter. 
 
In April, our number of clients served during the month decreased slightly. We are beginning to see some clients gain at least part time employment.  We have also seen a decrease in the number of adult children and grandchildren living with their parents.
 
Our number of clients normally peak during the month of July when so many children are still out of school for the summer.  It is a time when parents are beginning to spend money on getting the kids ready for school to begin in August and money can be tight.
 
Many seasonal residents are already North or are in the process of heading North, resulting in less food/cash donations.  Your help is even more critical during the summer.  We appreciate whatever you can do to help.
 
Items most needed right now are:
Pasta Sauce, Spaghetti Noodles, Cereal, Oatmeal and Peanut Butter.
 
May God Bless you and yours!
