Tonight, the whole family went to the Ardmore Food Pantry in St. Mary’s Episcopal Church to help the recipients fill their bags with healthy food. There was a checklist that they filled out, and then they gave us a large grocery bag which we then filled with food. We filled the bags, interacted with the recipients, and restocked the shelves. There was one family there – grandma, dad, 8 year old boy – who was asking about winter coats. The boy and his brothers did not have any warm outerwear. I told them about Our Closet and wrote all of the information for them, but the next pop up store is not for a few weeks and the boy is cold now. I told them I’d see if I could pick something up on Wednesday, when we went back to Our Closet. I took their phone number and will call if I can help them out. I hope so!
