Dollar for dollar, community support makes a world of difference! 💵✨
A huge thank you to United Commandery No. 21 (Masons) for their incredible $1,000 donation to the Norwood Food Pantry! This gift was made in honor of Sir Knight Peter A. Randall, Right Eminent Grand Commander, and his wife Holly. 💙 We also want to give a special shoutout to Mark Luhtanen for coordinating this generous gift.
While food drives fill our shelves with pantry staples, monetary donations are a game-changer for how we serve our clients every week:
🛒 Bulk Purchasing Power: Through our partnerships with regional food banks, cash donations allow us to buy food at wholesale prices, stretching every dollar significantly further than retail cost. 🥦 Fresh & Perishable Goods: Financial gifts give us the flexibility to purchase milk, eggs, fresh produce, meat, and cultural staples that can’t always be collected in traditional food drives. 📦 Targeted Need: Cash lets us instantly replenish whatever items are running low right when our families need them most.
Thank you to Mark and all the Brothers of United Commandery No. 21 for investing directly in the health and well-being of our neighbors!
