Dear Editor,

We want to thank all the people, churches, philanthropic organizations, business, factories and schools, individuals, too many to name, for donations and food drives. Your caring and compassion has helped the food pantry to fulfill its mission to feed our neighbors in need. Also, a big thank you to all those who participated in our “Adopt a Family Christmas program.”

Many individuals brought in food and clothing items from themselves, their employers and churches but didn’t leave a name — to all of them we are grateful.

All these efforts truly have influence in our community. When many of our neighbors in need must choose between purchasing food and /or paying their rent or utilities, this food helps families stay in their homes and keeps families together.

I could never show enough of my appreciation to my faithful volunteers who spend many hours working in our pantry, thank you all!

We cherish all of you and look forward to the New Year and your continued support so we can reach those who are hungry and put hope in their lives!

Thank you and God Bless!

Sincerely,

Arlene Glover,
Director, Syracuse Food Pantry
