I really don’t want to make this post …however I feel i have too. Especially with Summer coming ..
Everyone knows I have always tried to keep Come As You Go Snacks for the Kids…I recently started putting Popsicles in the freezer…and everyone once in awhile there are drinks in the fridge for them.
I HAVE ALWAYS PRAISED the Kids for being wonderful and respectful…UNFORTUNATELY this past week 3 different days I was picking up trash from in front of the Blessing Cabinet…fruit snack wrappers …juice boxes and “beef jerky’s” wrappers…
There is a trash can inside.
Please Parents all I ask is to remind them there is a trash can inside.
I welcome the kiddos to come and grab a snack but I don’t think it’s too much to ask to make sure they throw away their trash

So..I posted a few days ago with just a bit of information to let everyone who supports and utilizes be aware…apparently nothing is going to change..with the greedy certain adults that still have not grasped a concept…
So….as of 830 pm tonight Tuesday March 31st…the Panama Blessing Cabinet will no longer be open 24/7…
It is locked as of right now 828 pm.
I do not have any hours in mind as of yet. But will get them together and post as soon as I calm down a little bit from emotions. I do hear vehicles and I do have a camera watching…and I don’t have any issues coming and confronting and contacting police…regardless of anything this is still my property and my home and if I feel you are trespassing I will not hesitate!
I am a genuinely nice person but every nice person has a limit

I know I just posted a big long to do..
But would like to say one more thing…

PLEASE KNOW…I HAVE NEVER FELT SO MUCH SUPPORT in my whole life…EVERYONE that has made this AMAZING my hat is off to you all..
I promise I am not ungrateful for the backing and help from my family and community and support from ALL that has helped us continue this..

THANK YOU SO MUCH…
I didn’t mean to just be negative of if I came across that way…

THANK YOU ALLLLLL!!!
I know I don’t know EVERYONE BUT I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Couple of things AND GONNA BE A LONG POST…a HUGE THANK YOU ..to the GENEROUS COMMUNITY that CONTINUES to donate monetarily and the HARD WORKING folks that spend their money to support!!!!
With that said…I have to post some crappy things as well…

THIS PANAMA BLESSING CABINET..to me is one of a kind around here atleast…my family and i have offered up a piece of our property…a piece of our hearts…and truly a big chunk of our income..to try and help our surrounding community…and it has helped quite a few I believe…

However…I am absolutely heartbroken and genuinely upset and disgusted and disappointed by a handful of GROWN ADULTS..that come here…and literally TAKE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN CARRY!
You are absolutely the reason why most food pantries regulate what a household is aloud to pick up…
You never contribute ANYTHING….I know your brains don’t function as properly as they should and hopefully karma comes for you!
This Blessing Cabinet is run based sheerly on take and give and we have been very fortunate to have soooooo many givers…BUT a couple of you feel as though this is your shopping store and never give back…

I truly do not want to put hours and times on it but it’s ALMOST coming to that…because I may have to sit out here and monitor the comings and goings…EVEN the kid snack trays are being taken by grown adults…RIDICULOUS!!!

I should never have to feel like I need to monitor grown people..YOU INCONSIDERATE folks are going to ruin for the TRULY GRATEFUL APPRECIATIVE ones…

Oh and lastly…I made sure there were heat lamps regulating a bit of temperature for the winter and 3 days ago…some nice precious gem decided to take one of our heat lamp bulbs…

PLEASE KNOW…I am soooo proud and happy to have a contribution to my community but some people really grind my gears!!!

I apologize for the long post…but wanted everyone to know some things.

Thank you to all who have still been supporting and donating these last couple of weeks!!!
It’s truly amazing!!
Another shout out to the Panama VFW for another donation!!!

it’s going to be getting cold this weekend and we may or may not be able to get around too much…with that said…PLEASE as a FRIENDLY REMINDER…there are soooooo many NUMEROUS people that utilize this…so BE KIND and take some and leave some!!!
Everyone can use a little…so when you are coming in be mindful that you are not the only one that is in need!!!
I know im not the conventional food pantry and i would like to continue in this fashion…so again be kind and mindful when utilizing!!
