Recently we put out an appeal for food.  We found we are unable to order food from grocers as they are having problems stocking their shelves.  We had a huge response from those we contacted and we cannot thank you enough.  With your help, we now have enough food for April.  We are taking this one month at a time.  But be assured we are staying open to help those in need during this critical time.  The need is great.  We are seeing a large number of new clients in March and expect this to continue in April due to the unemployment situation.  

What can you do to help?
