Senior Brown Bag Easter Treat

 

For Easter Rosa thought a tiny treat for her senior clients might brighten up their day.  Robin and Rosa assembled goody bags from what we received through donations.  

They had Peeps and other candy. 

Looks like Rosa's efforts worked at our Season's distribution. 

 



 

Our senior clients at our Senior Brown Bag distribution at Dino Drive seem happy with their Easter goody bags. 

 

Mobile Pantry @ Franklin

 

Once a month, our clients in the Franklin area receive food and clothing through our Mobile Pantry program.  

Our clients who live and work in the remote part of Franklin do not have transportation to come to our warehouse on Dino Drive for emergency food distribution. 

Rosa and her team of volunteers assembled and transported food boxes out to Point Pleasant United Methodist Church for our monthly distribution. 

These photos are from our distribution a few months ago.  Rosa and I finally had some free time to sit down and figure out how to get the photos off of her phone and on to the blog.  We will have more photos of Rosa's work within our community now that we have the knowledge. 

Some of our youngest clients in the Franklin area.  So cute!

Volunteers Needed!
