Pantry Paper  -  FEBRUARY 2008

TREAT ALL CLIENTS WITH DIGNITY say our Pantry Guidelines. Let’s add volunteers to that, and follow the example of one recent new volunteer. At the end of her training session, she turned to the roomful of people and said, “Nice meeting you and thank you!”

THANK YOU National Charity League for supporting the Pantry over the past year with both monetary donations and volunteer hours. Mother-daughter teams volunteered 990.50 hours in 2007. Thanks also to Elissa Kaczorowski for her work as NCL liaison to the Pantry.
