We met all the Methodists down at the Pantry to pack food to give out Saturday. This months box is pretty awesome. 2 pounds of chicken, 2 lbs of beef, 3 boxes of jiffy corn bread mix, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, english peas, cans of fruit and other veggies, spaghetti and sauce. Cleaning supplies and milk and a huge box of cereal and cookies. Next month we have to spend the FEMA money so that will be on a ham for each box. We packed up 216 boxes. Last month we gave out 218 with a few left over. So this month there may or may not be any left. The Lord sends us the right amount of people each month. As our donations have increased the people coming have increased. Last month I had a huge donation of baby formula. We don't have any infants on the list. Then the last person that walked in the door last month had her great grand baby relocated to her home and they didn't have WIC. I loaded her car up with all that formula. He gives us what we need so that we can in turn give it back to the community.
After we loaded and stacked the boxes, we all went to eat at Vera Cruz. That blew my carefully planned dietary restrictions out of the ball park. I will have to be a really good girl for the next few days to make up for all the salt!
If you know of anyone that might have the need for the pantry let them know about it. I don't always have food there, but once a month we do. Give them my name or tell them to call Sr. Mary Jean at the Catholic Church or any of the Methodist churches in Bruce, Vardaman or Calhoun City. They will call me and get a box of food to the ones that are hungry.
