Season’s Greetings from the Stillwater Food Pantry! True, it is a little early to think about the holidays with summer barely in our rear-view mirror and Halloween still a distance away. Yet, we here at the Pantry need to start our holiday preparations early in order to be ready to serve those most in need.
As you may know, the Stillwater Food Pantry serves approximately 120 families a month, providing them with much needed food. Did you also know that, at Christmas, we provide gifts for the children of those families? It is our goal is to support the parents and grandparents of these children so that they will have a few gifts to provide for the younger members of their families. Last year we provided gifts for 107 children up to the age of 13. These gifts included stockings filled with candy, fidgets, and other small items. In addition, each child received at least two age-appropriate gifts.
We are hoping that your business and employees would consider supporting this holiday project by helping us with the purchase of toys for children up to the age of 13. To make this participation easier, we attach a flyer with links to our Amazon wish list. Utilizing this wish list will not only help us to keep the gift values uniform, but it will offer you the opportunity to have your purchased items shipped directly to us. You may, of course, prefer to do your own shopping! Someone on the committee would be happy to pick up your donations if you would like, or they can be dropped off at the pantry or church office before December 13.
