Fall Newsletter 2019

We can’t believe it is fall already!!!

The air is getting cooler and the leaves have begun to change. Here at Twelve Baskets Food Pantry we are up to change and progress too!! Over the summer we were able to purchase a nice walk-in freezer. We are so excited for this freezer because it is allowing us to take on more donations so we can feed more families.

                         

We have had a great summer here at the pantry and out in the community. We have had many local farmers that have donated fresh fruits and veggies, even EGGS! Joe’s Farms in Schoolcraft/Three Rivers, Walther Farms in Three Rivers, and Bailey Farm in Three Rivers just to name a few. We are so thankful for our local farms that donate fresh fruits and veggies every week. 

 

We are so thankful for our monthly donor family that brings us awesome donations every month. Thank you to to Krugh family for your continued support in our mission to STOMP OUT HUNGER right here in our community. We love how your kids are so excited to help out too!! 

                 

We also had a fantastic golf and dinner fundraiser September 14th at Indian Run Golf Club. The money we raised is enough to purchase 13,158 pounds of food!!! Wow guys that’s so awesome!! We also had a bunch of nonperishable food and personal care items donated as well. Thank you so much to those who helped make this event a success! Here are some pictures for your enjoyment.

AND A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR HOLE SPONSORS AND OUR DONORS !!

Here at Twelve Baskets Food Pantry we value our volunteers. We had our annual Volunteer Appreciation Picnic at Lakeview Park on Portage Road. Thank you to Taco Bob’s for setting up our dinner and thank you to every volunteer that we have. We couldn’t do it without you. If you would like to become a volunteer, join us during a Tuesday stocking day from 9 am until noon or a Friday stocking day from 10 am until 1 pm. Or come have fun with us during a distribution day and help our families shop our pantry. We have distribution the 1st and 3rd Friday from 4-7 pm and the 2nd and 4th Saturday from 8:30 am until noon !!

 

HAVE A GREAT FALL Y’ALL!!
