π WHAT AN AMAZING BACK TO SCHOOL PANTRY DAY! π
Our hearts are truly full! We are incredibly grateful for another successful pantry day at The Careys Gathering Place.
Together, we were able to serve 279 individuals in our community β including 104 children, 138 adults, and 37 seniors! Even more exciting, 44 families were new to our agency. π₯°
None of this would be possible without the generosity, teamwork, and compassion of the wonderful organizations and individuals who continue to support our mission.
π THANK YOU to all of our community partners and donors who help keep our pantry stocked and make it possible for us to continue serving families in need.
A very special thank you to our family, the Urban League, Cambridge Toxicology, NCNW and staff for showing up and giving your time through volunteer service.Your helping hands, positive energy, and willingness to serve alongside us made such a difference. We sincerely appreciate you! π
To every volunteer, donor, partner, and community member who helped make this day possible: THANK YOU. What may seem like a few hours of your time or a simple donation can mean groceries on the table, relief for a parent, and reassurance for a senior or family going through a difficult season.
And we're not stopping here!
Our next pantry day is:
