We served 90 clients in 3 days at the pantry this week...35 today! Could really use toothpaste... many asked for it, and we literally only had a couple of tubes.

Thank you for sharing the Easter basket distribution that we held on Saturday. We were able to distribute 48 baskets during that 90min timeframe.

We have 1 bottle of grape jelly on the shelf. Please consider buying a couple this week --- put them in the shed at the back of the Baptist church 24/7.

GOOD URGENT ACTION ITEM: We have an abundance of filled Easter baskets left over. We will be at the Pitman Pantry from 3-430 TODAY to distribute them.
We have many ages, but we especially have for under 2 years old and teen girls.
PLEASE SHARE this so we can help the Easter bunny bring smiles!
