amazing food donations! We are so
thankful that you keep on blessing us and we are always amazed at just how much food you

With support from individuals like you, our Food Pantry is addressing the hunger crisis in
our communities. So many of our neighbors are struggling to meet basic needs, and facing hunger on a daily basis. Children and the
elderly are especially vulnerable. We are so grateful for your hard work and generosity in helping our neighbors in need to access food in
an atmosphere of dignity and respect. It’s wonderful people like all of you that make it
possible to keep our\pantry stocked with food. You should feel proud knowing that, because of
you, less people in our community will go hungry. Hunger is something someone should
never have to fight alone!
Thank you with the deepest appreciation from all of us at the Holy Family Food Pantry!
