Thank you”; “Wonderful service”; “Smooth, well organized”; “Needs always met”; and “Love all the volunteers.” The HBFP serves 10,000 pounds of food a month to approximately 250 families, assisted by 80 volunteers. As indicated by the comments, Ross said, the pantry’s success can be credited to the volunteers. “Our fabulous volunteers are often referenced as they are the backbone of the work that we do,” Ross stated. He encourages people to witness the volunteers’ dedication by viewing a video on the pantry’s Facebook page that was posted on May 27 when volunteers distributed food to 300 clients during a severe rainstorm. Ross concluded the report by stating, “Honey Brook Food Pantry is well prepared to do whatever is needed to address food insufficiency in the area. The community can be 100% confident that we will be there each week with a great supply

Rite Aid’s annual in-store customer fundraising campaign benefiting Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals will run through Saturday Aug. 28. All funds donated by customers will benefit 53 children’s hospitals providing lifesaving care and services for children in Rite Aid communities. This marks the 27th year for Rite Aid’s annual campaign, with customer support helping the company and its public charity, The Rite Aid Foundation, to raise and donate more than $100 million overall to CMN Hospitals. During this year’s campaign, customers can donate during every in-store transaction at Rite Aid. In addition to patient services, charitable care and equipment, donations help pioneer research that transforms how hospitals care for children not just in their youth, but throughout their lives. All donations made during Rite Aid’s campaign will stay local, supporting the children’s hospitals in customers’ communities. To learn more about CMN Hospitals, visit www.cmnhospitals.org.
