There are times we are reminded that we are more than just a "pantry." We have become FAMILY to so many people over the last 4 decades. Today we had difficult cases that really made us sad and question the "system"....but we try to encourage and uplift every family who walks though our doors. See, our mission, is to share the compassion and hope of Christ while striving to alleviate hunger in our community. There are many days, that a hug or a prayer are so much more important than the food recieved.But.... we also had some good news from those extended "family" who come in and visit. Gerry came in to tell us he finished his radiation treatments! Having fought cancer for 4 years now, he is excited to look forward to his next chapter. And the first place he wanted to go was to Helping Hands Food Pantry and to share his good news. Sometimes.... we just need to be there for people, no matter what life has going on. We each have a responsibility to encourage those around us. Share a smile, open the door, or give someone a call. Make a difference in the lives of the people around you. You just might be the only one who does!Www.helpinghandsfoodpantry.org ... See MoreSee Less
