Brownies to the Rescue

Food, food was everywhere........ there was so much food to be sorted that overwhelming seems an apt description. So who else should step in but a Brownie troop looking for some service hours!?!! We had a wonderful three Tuesday evenings with these young ladies, their troop leaders, a couple of Moms and even a sibling or two. They worked so hard. In a flash the floor was empty, the donation bin was empty and most of the grocery carts had also been emptied! The food was sorted and most stored on the shelves. WOW! Who would have guessed that a small Brownie troop (#985) would, much less could work so fast! The Brownie Girl Scouts who served during the Tuesdays at the CFC: Kelsey, (mom Kimberly and brother, Kevin), Jennifer (and mom Diane), Emily, Paige (mother Melissa and sister, Caroline), and Kimmel (mom Michele and sister, Hadley).



The day before Thanksgiving was another big day for the CFC. Lots of clients showed up to stock their pantries before the Thanksgiving holiday and family get togethers. In the last three days of being open everyone has been kept busy stocking, sorting, packing, serving clients and generally helping out in every way imaginable.

Now that the Christmas season is officially underway lines will be longer everywhere (including the CFC), patience will be thin and tensions will be high. Our goal at the CFC is to share the warmth and love of the holidays with each and every client and to take the time necessary to treat our clients with dignity and grace. For the moment we have plenty of food to share and share we will. We look to our community to help us continue the process of giving by their generous gifts and offers to serve. The CFC serves so many families in our community. Come be a part of serving others! You will be blessed in many ways!
