Food Pantry Update Dec 23 Karoline Nelson, Operations Manager The Trailhead Christian Church will be staffing the food pantry during the month of December.
Food pantry supplies were distributed to 17 families consisting of 40 family members on December 17.
The board of the food pantry would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.
The food pantry will be open on Saturday, Dec 31 and on January 7th. Food will be distributed on weekends, since the 31st is the 5th Saturday and January 7 is the first Saturday. People are welcome to come on either, or both, Saturdays.
A big thank you to the Girl Scout Troop 3200 for their recent donation over the holidays. Over 400 pounds of food was collected and donated. A thank you is also in order for the multi-group donation of over $1900 worth of food. We are truly blessed to live in such a giving community.
The food pantry will only be open for the distribution of food and receiving foods on the first and third full weekends. If there is a 5th Saturday, we will be open then also. If these days are inconvenient for any donating food, please notify Karoline or Daryl at the numbers below. If our needs pick up, we will return to our previous distribution dates.
If you are dropping off food donations during off hours, please do not leave them at the back door. They may go unnoticed and the food may spoil.
