Grateful that MisterM and I were scheduled to volunteer at the Storehouse (local foodbank/thrift store) last Saturday, because we got to be a part of and witness the SUPER generosity of our small town community outreach that serves the entire county.
❤️ 1000 lbs of food donated from the Boys Scouts food drive! Glad there was an extra team of volunteers to help handle and shelve the bounty. How wonderful a space the new addition was too!
❤️ 400 lbs of food donated from Jennie’s Floral - who had participated in the discounted dozen rose program with the incentive for customers to bring in cans of food.
❤️ Jennie’s Foral also donated 5 dozen “leftover” roses to the Storehouse to share w/our patrons and volunteers.
❤️ 30 frozen turkeys from a local church.
❤️ MisterM’s hand-crafted table (as per director’s request) proved sturdy and perfect for the food pantry.
❤️ Not one cookie or muffin remained from the tray of home-made goodies I brought.
❤️ Our regular pantry team was slammed with families in need of food, with lines almost out the door.
Exhausted? Yes, but a good tired. Knowing our combined energies were helping those in need.
Heard more than once, “I never thought I’d have to do this,” meaning accepting food help.
You just never know, my kind friends…sometimes we are the giver, sometimes the receiver. In the circle of life, it's all the same.

Turkeys will make someone's Thanking giving celebration easy.
Cookies and muffins are icing on the cake of kindness.
You all are doing a very good job to help your community.

We donated them all to the Storehouse, knowing that they would go to someonein need. The most wonderful thing about the Storehouse is that everything is FREE!
