Betty Lou's Pantry Volunteer Opportunity
BLP has 2 couples who pick up the bread from Giant and Fresh Market on the two Saturdays that food is distributed, usually the second or fourth Saturdays of every month. One volunteer couple picks up
one distribution day, the other does the next. The volunteer couple goes to Giant at 8 AM, picks up bread and brings it to the pantry, then goes to Fresh Market to do the same. Total time is
about an hour, not super heavy lifting. The pantry will need to replace one couple, as they will be moving out of the area.
Please consider volunteering. For more information, please contact: ppatt6@gmail.com. Thank you.
Betty Lou's Pantry News
Much of the pantry's food comes from donations, one being the annual National Letter Carrier Food Drive, which in 2019 collected 9317 pounds for Betty Lou's Pantry - thank you letter
carriers! Using an average of $1.43 per pound, that amounts to $13,328 worth of food. Due to Covid19, the 2020 food drive was cancelled
nationwide. For 2021, the United States Post Office has decided to replace the food drive with a "monetary food drive". Each pantry across the country who wishes to
participate has created a means for collecting money and reporting to the USPO the dollar amount collected. Our director, Chris Page, has organized a GoFundMe request.
Thank you in advance for whatever you can do to help feed our neighbors in need.
