"March"ing Forward!

March has arrived and brought with it blustery winds and rain. March has also brought the CFC many new clients, lots of opportunities to tell the story and lots of peanut butter! YEAH! The word is out and donations are going well. Peanut butter seems to be coming in from several different donors and it is a welcomed sight! Soup and fruit supplies are getting low as are the shelves for macaroni and cheese. We have been blessed lately with great foods from Second Harvest including frozen burritos... a treat for our clients.

As we pause to reflect on the last few months we find ourselves grateful more and more often for the wonderful storage shelves provided by Brendan Wood. These shelves have helped with storage but even more they have enabled our daily volunteers to assist with sorting, shelving and distribution. Organization has allowed the board to manage the stock so much more easily and efficiently. Rotating the stock is much less of an issue than it once was.

There is much to be thankful for in these days... there is bread to share each day, volunteers seem to be content and the board continues to plan strategies for "feeding the hungry". You are invited to be a part of this wonderful ministry!
