Thank you for being such a blessing to me and my family. I was so nervous to come to a pantry, I have had very bad experiences in the past when I had to use a pantry. You guys are so welcoming and understanding. Words can not express how much it means to me and my family. If we need help we can come to you guys without feeling judged or shamed. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!
Sincerely, Sarah and family
