This weekend we celebrate 6 years of the Harrow Community Pantry. 6 years of keeping folks in our area fed and spreading love in the form of food.
There is so much to be thankful for.
For the Fortis group and all the donors who made the pantry build possible 6 years ago.
For the Harrow United Church for providing a perfect home for the pantry (overstock space too).
For all the groups, organizations, businesses, and individuals who believe in the work we do and who continue to raise funds, run events, and collect goods. The pantry would not exist with you.
For the quiet encouragers who take interest in Project HOPE and provide support by helping spread awareness and lending a hand where they can. Your positivity helps keep us going.
For our community partners who host donation bins: Harrow Shoppers, Harrow Libro, Uptown Meats, Garfields, and the Renaud Ford dealership.
For our incredible volunteer team. It’s difficult these days to find folks who are willing to commit to giving of their time and energy when life is so busy. Not only do they keep the pantry running 365 days a year, but they help with fundraisers, food drives, and community events as well.
For our operations team - Jeff and Teri. The ones who purchase groceries 3-4 times a week and restock the pantry every day. They are the quiet angels who keep the pantry full and give so generously of their time and energy to do so.
This tiny building has seen over 12,000 visits in 6 years. That’s over 12,000 full sets of groceries. The pantry may be a tiny building, but through it comes an abundance of love and help for those who are struggling.
On this Thanksgiving weekend I am extending a sincere thank you to all those who support this very important work. We could not do what we do with you.
The pantry will be open all weekend as usual. Hunger doesn’t stop on holidays. Thanksgiving reminds us to take nothing for granted, including the delicious meal many will enjoy this weekend.
If you have extra to give - etransfers can be made to [email protected] or stop by the pantry to drop off a donation to our volunteers Sat/Sun 1pm - 2pm or Mon 7pm - 8pm.
Happy Thanksgiving! ♥️
- Taylor
