Community Food Pantry
Linda Flaugh is asking all the local churches for help with the breakfasts once a month during the food distribution on Saturday mornings. She is getting the schedule ready for 2016 and would like to know which month(s) your church would like to serve breakfast to the food pantry clients. These breakfasts are simple and can be something such as: a muffin, fruit, and juice. If anyone has a desire to coordinate one of these breakfasts, please contact Robin.
