Opening THIS EVENING!

Our infant pantry will be open this evening from 5 - 7 PM.
Rader Lutheran Church  17072 Raders Church Road, Timberville, VA

We would like to thank everyone that has helped get us to this point, we could not have gotten here without YOU.  We are tweaking some of our paperwork for this evening (the paperwork just seems to keep coming) and hope that our families will have patience with us as we get our feet under us.

Our shelves are pretty well stocked.  Well, that is at least until we see how many families come to see us.  We made a sizeable purchase of formula and baby food this week.  We have in excess of 500 jars of baby food stocked on our shelves!  Between that and formula our check book has taken a hit amounting to $841.08 - we do not have an abundance of formula on hand, and won't until we know what our babies need. 

We have Similac, Enfamil & Parents Choice formulas on hand, with some Isomil (soy) and Similac Sensitive formulas, too.  Neo-sure for a special little girl that decided to arrive a bit early.  We are excited to meet our babies and their families.  Tonight, we will learn their names and see their chubby little cheeks for the first time.  We are excited!

We sincerely thank Edinburg Christian Church for gifting us our first pallet of diapers--those 5011 diapers will help us serve 100+ babies.   Also, would be remiss if we didn't also thank Tracey Veney for her donation of baby wipes and Mt. Grove Church for their generous donation of $500, what a pleasant surprise.  We will use the money wisely to serve our community's babies. 

We ask for your continued good thoughts as we forge ahead with our mission to help serve the little ones in need in our community. 

In the coming weeks we will provide even more information on this site - we've just been busy getting our seemingly endless "to do" list taken care of, thank you for your patience.
