Food Pantry Newsletter from WRCC Submitted by Bev (thanks Bev)

Friends
Another busy afternoon at the pantry with 105 families including 22 new ones. We had a total of 36 volunteers that helped us and 14 volunteers on Tuesday that worked getting ready for today. Many, many people remain unemployed and are trying to find work. We have moms with kids that are ready to be evicted and families living without utilities.  We ask for your prayers for these families and for our volunteers to have the right words of encouragement and direction to give the families. 
Our top needs this week include oatmeal, pancake mix and syrup, sugar, cake or brownie mix, jelly, soups (except tomato) shampoo, toothpaste and diapers any size. Please consider bringing in some items the next time you come to church. Have your kids pick out some things to help a family going through a difficult time. We are so grateful for everything that is donated. If it were not for your giving hearts we would not be able to keep the pantry going.  If you don't have time to shop and would like to donate a gift card, we would be happy to shop for you.
We are continuing to collect paper bags and empty liquid laundry soap containers. We can recycle those and put them to good use.
