Thank You Pantry Volunteers
A GREAT BIG thank you to everyone (Erin/Jason Clary, Heather/Mike Korey, Jennifer Samonsky & godson Holden, Jennifer Skidmore, Michele Cancilla, Shea/Carson/Ashton Smith) who was able to help out our own Wendy Alexander who was managing The Pantry this morning. We distributed over 60 boxes of food and we all truly enjoyed the experience. Thanks to the guys for doing the heaving lifting for us! They brought over 900 pounds of food from the collection bins near the preschool entrance (and then turned around and carried it all back out to the patron's cars for distribution...in the rain!). We helped check in, weigh & sort the food collected this week, learned how to make boxes to be distributed and then re-stocked the shelves for next week. Our next opportunity to work as a team at The Pantry will be Saturday, May 7th.

A Message from The Pantry
In 2010, The Pantry at HMUMC distributed over 39,000 pounds of food to just 306 families. This is only possible with the support of the entire congregation and we would like to extend a warm thank you to everyone that donated food or resources to The Pantry in 2010. Last week, The Pantry set a new record with 64 boxes going out the door and today we only have enough food on the shelves in the pantry for about 21 boxes. If every adult attending a Sunday church service would bring one (1) item, we would have enough food to meet the demand. Items that are currently most needed are:
· Canned meat (tuna or chicken)
· Spaghetti Sauce
· Canned pasta (ravioli, spaghetti-o’s)
· Canned fruit
· Boxed potatoes, rice or pasta
· Peanut butter and jelly
In the coming weeks we will be restructuring our volunteer force to meet the ever increasing need. If you would like to work in The Pantry or be a part of our community resource team, please contact John Boozer at john_boozer@yahoo.com or 678-591-3889.
