Hey, folks!
I just wanted to remind you all that we have a food pantry! With gas and groceries rising in price, it can be a little hard to make those late dollars stretch. We can help you. No stigma, no judgement. Just food. If gas is tight, get some food, so you have more for gas $. We have food boxes made up, to grab and go. If you have special needs, let me know [email protected]
We are so very blessed to live in a community that gives so much!
Love and light,
Gabi
