Martic Pantry Announces Fundraising Events By Dayna M. Reidenouer
Martic Pantry has announced a partial schedule of chicken barbecue fundraisers planned for 2019. The first two will be held at Martic Store, 561 Martic Heights Drive, Holtwood, on Saturdays, May 11 and June 8, and two more are slated for the fall. The freshly grilled chicken and sides will be available at 10 a.m. until sold out. The meals on May 11 and June 8 will each include a chicken leg and thigh, a bag of chips, a whoopie pie, and a beverage. Martic Pantry will not be preselling tickets. The May 11 event will differ from the rest by also offering baked goods, soft-serve ice cream, flowering plants, and vegetable plants for sale. The proceeds from the day will help to meet the needs of a local resident.
“Someone in our community needs help with hospital bills after a lengthy stay,” said Martic Pantry board member Sharon Aukamp. The proceeds from the June 8 and later barbecue sales will go to the Martic Pantry, whose purpose is to show God’s love by providing food and other assistance to residents of Martic Township who are experiencing hardship. “Our main focus is to provide free groceries, but we do our best to help out with other emergencies when we can,” Aukamp explained. Martic Pantry typically serves between 15 and 20 families each month, giving each qualified household a debit card that may be used only at Martic Store. The cards are reloaded each month with an amount based on family size. See Martic Pantry pg 4

mind. Tickets for the Grand Purple Gala set for Saturday, May 18, however, are priced in the mid-double-digits, thanks to corporate and individual sponsors. See Grand Purple Gala pg 5
