From White River Food Pantry

Hello
A father of 4 that has been out of work for the past several months, a middle aged woman that can barely walk and living on disabiltiy, a senior citizen living on a small social security check.  These are the faces that visit our food pantry on a weekly basis. Some people need our help for a week or two and some need it for months. Food is a necessity of life and we need your help. Our pantry is EXTREMELY LOW on almost everything.  Last Thursday we had 95 families including 15 new families. We were blessed with 25 volunteers that helped out. 
Items most needed are cereal, pancake mix and syrup, Canned fruit, canned vegetables, soups (other than tomato) jelly, canned meat, toiletries, and diapers any size.  We had a youngster in the kids room last week who's diaper was so full that pieces of cotton were all over the room. She was given diapers and the youngster was changed before she went home.
Meijer has their 10 for $10 sale, get the 11th item free.  Kroger has select Kellog cereals on sale for 1.88 and Dole fruit select brands for 10 for $10.

These families not only get food from us but much needed hugs, prayer and a place of refuge from all of the issues they have going on. Our needs will be higher in the next couple of months since many of our families children were receiving free breakfast and lunch at school. Please consider sharing your blessings with others.

In Him
