HELPING HANDS FOOD PANTRY NEWS

with a back-pack every week filled with food for an entire weekend! In our
community, you would think there is not that much need for this sort of
program. Yet the fact is that last year 225 students took advantage of the
program! We cannot feed the entire world but we can help wipe out
hunger in our own back yard. All it takes is people who care.
Please make checks payable to “Helping Hands Food Pantry”
