As a difficult year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to be sure to thank all of our wonderful, generous donors who have helped us feed record numbers of neighbors in need. This past year, we were able to distribute food to 21,157 individuals all across the south coast. This was only possible with the generous contributions made to us by the kind friends of the pantry. Each and every person or organization that brought food or funds to us this year is so very greatly appreciated!!!
While having the funds to feed our friends in need is so important, we couldn’t get the job done without the amazing dedication and hard work of our 80+ volunteers. So many showed up week after week, throughout COVID spikes, and kept the pantry open and functioning like a well-oiled machine. I cannot express enough how fantastic our volunteers are and it truly re-enforces one’s faith in people’s goodness!
Lastly, I’d like to publicly thank Shaw’s, Target, and Stop and Shop of Wareham, Bimbo’s Bakery of Middleboro, United Way and of course the Greater Boston Food Bank for all they share with us. They are very generous to us throughout the year and we enjoy partnering with them to help those in need. Our Board of Director’s have done an amazing job this year of not only keeping the pantry functioning but also preparing for some very exciting improvements in the future!!
Going forward, statistics show the hunger spike we have seen in the area is here to stay for years to come so I hope we can continue to work together to fight the good fight until no one goes to bed hungry. Thank you all for a very important year of service and be proud of the contribution you’ve made to improve people’s lives.
Very gratefully yours,
Jackie Arsenault
