March Pantry & Some Odds and Ends . . .

Our pantry will be open Thursday, March 21st from 5 - 7 PM.
We must ask our families to help us update our records.  
We offer assistance to families in the Plains District of Rockingham County.  Broadway School District - Fulks Run Elementary, Plains Elementary, John C. Myers Elementary, Lacey Spring Elementary, Linville Edom Elementary. 
Please bring the following:
  1. Your baby
  2. Your SNAP or WIC documents
  3. Photo Identification w/proof of residence in the Plains District  
 As for the odds and ends . . .
We'd sincerely like to acknowledge Crystal Fleming's gift of clothing display racks.  Crystal was the Owner of Casual Fridays.  Earlier this year, after some five years of providing the area women a lovely boutique in which to shop, she retired.  We really appreciated the gift of those racks.  Our clothing bins were overflowing with tiny, little clothes.  
We are now able to display the clothing, the parents are able to view the colors and sizes without rummaging through bins on the floor.  It is heavenly. 

We wish Crystal blessings, happiness and good health in this new chapter of her life.  

We have served the families of 67 children since we opened our doors in November 2011.  Time flies and it has been a great deal of fun watching the babies grow.  It has been a pleasure, of sorts, when their families no longer need our assistance.  It has also been an honor when our families are able to help us help others.  

Coming later this spring:  Tom Brower Photography will return to take pictures for our families - most likely during May's pantry.  We'll let you know.

Thank you for your continued support.
