Happy Birthday Pantry 279 !! I can't believe it but today we turn 11 years old. How things have changed from that small spot in the back bus bay of Trinity Lutheran Church to now. All of our thoughts and dreams, all that we thought we knew, but learned we knew very little. The friends we have made, they friends we have lost, and lives we have changed or even saved. The girls have all grown up. Some return to help, a couple are still working at Pantry, some have children of their own, some have recently graduated college and moved to careers. Please enjoy our stories and memories throughout today, and feel free to stop by, chat, reminisce, and see how things have grown. Please leave your own stories and pantry memories. For now here are a couple of 11 yr old pictures.

A HUGE thank you to St. Mark’s United Methodist Church and St. Thomas Lutheran Church for their generous donations toward the purchase of turkeys! 🦃❤️
Your kindness and generosity will help us provide families in our community with a little extra joy and a special meal to share together. We are so grateful for your continued support and for always being willing to lend a helping hand.
It truly takes a community coming together to make a difference, and we are so thankful to have you both as part of ours!
Thank you for making a difference! ❤️

I know this is a little off the wall request, but if anyone has any commercial heavy duty clothing racks they could donate, or knows people who own a business that may have a couple they could donate, we could really use them. Sandy came in today to a few of our donated racks broken, as they were not commercial or heavy duty. She said she is running out of racks to hang the clothing on. I have included an Amazon link to a good one, if anyone would like to go that way. Thank you!

But thank you Martinsville Walmart for working with us and giving us a discount. Thank you everyone who has and has been donating including Duke Energy and Mt Calvary Baptist Church. We are at $8100 out of $11000. We almost have the these turkeys paid for! Then we can worry about other meats a little bit later.
