October 2009

Dear Friends,
We are open one Saturday a month so that we can accommodate working families, and this morning I was able to meet those clients as they came in for groceries. All are struggling to make ends meet and trying to provide for their children. We thank you for your role in helping us help them. We are looking for a volunteer to do computer data entry and interact with clients. You will be trained to do intake interviews, and enter weekly statistics as clients shop. It is very simple work for anyone who can do data entry and likes working with people. You need to be available on Wednesdays from 9:00 -11:30am. Please email cantonfoodpantry@gmail if you'd like to give it a try. Thanks so much for your support of our pantry. Last month we received many food donations and enjoyed meeting new donors dropping off on Mondays.

Happy October from your Friends at the Canton Food Pantry

This month we are asking for donations of:
COFFEE - all kinds, decaf and regular, especially instant
MEALS IN CANS - such as Spaghettios, Ravioli, Beef Stew, etc.
