Epsom Food
Pantry
Good morning, everyone. It has been a busy week at the Pantry.
Our usual staff faithfully manning the store.
We had a bit of a problem with our air conditioner Saturday, so I
zipped to Sears and got another one. Now let me tell you a story.
When I was at the store and ready to check out, a person stepped up
and insisted on giving it to us free. I was stunned. This
young man told me someone had done him a great favor and he was
looking around for something or someone to do a favor in
return.
Thank you so much young man. We also
received a marvelous check from St. Stephens Church in Pittsfield.
Those folks are so wonderful to our Pantry. And of
course the gentleman who gives us either milk or eggs weekly, I
thank you so so much.
Our wants are the usual: cream soups, rice a roni, and jams or
jelly. My garden is not doing well. My neighbor’s is
outstanding. I need a miracle.
Until next time,
Priscilla
