“Joy Is An Act Of Resistance ” Toi Derricotte. – Kindness breeds joy.

Good morning. Some notes: today’s request is especially healthy, easy to save, clean, and among the healthiest foods. The Pantry is out of all of them. Mothers will do anything to get their kids to eat vegetables, even though they are unavailable elsewhere right now. Three kinds of people are coming to the Pantry: adults running out of Social Security, single mothers running out of food money, and working people who can’t keep up, no matter how many jobs they have.
The number of people seeking food assistance is growing, but the money coming in from the government and local Food Banks is helping. Thanks so much for your support. Kindness is Joy. You are providing a great service.
Canned corn is important: Say food researchers: “Canned corn is a nutritious, convenient, and budget-friendly food that provides significant fiber, antioxidants, and essential nutrients…” The Pantry could use some help with them.

Thanks so much for sending this Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip cookie mix, a favorite of the Pantry families and their children. It’s a moral food; the families make cookies together.
