Christian
Food Pantry Ministry – Sams Club Employees Volunteer at Pantry!
On April 25, 2023 the pantry was
blessed by over a dozen Sams Club Volunteers!
They came bearing three truckloads of non-perishable food for us along
with muscle and energy to help out.
These wonderful men and women unloaded the donations they brought, stocked
our shelves, unloaded and put away three pallets of groceries purchased through
and delivered to the pantry all in the first hour and a half! For the remaining four hours of donated time
this group emptied and cleaned out the storage shed we were renting and no
longer needed, bagged groceries, and assisted clients as they loaded their cars
with the food they received! In
addition, we are in the process of completed necessary paperwork to receive a
grant from them via CyberGrants! A big
THANK YOU to Sams Club of Lady Lake and their great employees!!
The pantry is
currently serving about 350 families each month. Our numbers increase slightly
during the summer when children are home from school for the season so
donations are even more important. During
the summer months we have a break in providing the Feed the Children Snack
Packs for the children at Rolling Acres Elementary, we will resume the program
in mid-August. In 2023 we provided 120
snack packs each week for a total of 19 school weeks. That’s a total of 2280
snack packs bagged for our local children in need! THANKS TO OUR FEED THE CHILDREN VOLUNTEERS!!
You can support the
pantry by donating non-perishable goods anytime, simply place the items in the
Green Bin in the lobby with the Christian Food Pantry signage. If you prefer you may donate money by
designating the Food Pantry on your donation envelope.
May God bless you and
yours always.
