America is hypnotized and obsessed with politics; it seems the world is anxious. The Army of Good always remembered how much people depended on and appreciated them. Bless you all.

The Woman’s Hygiene Shelf is complete, as are the Ramen shelves for dinners.

The kids have enough cereal for their backpacks, and thanks to your efforts, we’ve successfully stocked up on plenty of Betty Crocker Muffin Packages for Thanksgiving. We have enough turkey stuffing; we have helped fill those  Thursday backpacks.

Your role in these preparations has been crucial and greatly appreciated. Thanks to you, every pantry member will get a full Thanksgiving dinner, including stuffing and cranberry juice, and every kid’s backpack will be complete. Your hard work is more than just stocking shelves.

It’s making a real difference in this community.

However, there is no time to rest. The Pantry urgently needs more salads. Your role is crucial, and despite the challenges, your dedication and hard work are truly appreciated. And we can get some at bargain rates.

Sarah, ever on the lookout for bargains, found some woppers. All three kinds of dressing salads she wants to see on the pantry shelves cost $1.99. We can help.

Salad dressings are not just condiments. They are essential to families, providing an easy way to get their kids to eat greens without thinking about it.

They are also inexpensive. However, they are always among the first things to disappear from the shelves. Your work ensures these vital items are available, giving the children energy and vitamins.

I’m continually amazed by Sarah and the volunteers’ unwavering commitment; items come in and, just as quickly, go out. Your dedication is truly commendable and greatly appreciated.

Sarah is intense about needing the salads. She does not ever look back; there is always a great need. A volunteer told me this morning that we are making an enormous difference. Morale is up for the volunteers, the families, and the children. The shelves are just about empty.
