Pantry Paper August 2008

While you’re back-to-school shopping, please remember the children we serve, pick up some school supplies, and bring them to the Pantry. Thanks much!

We appreciate good paperwork and so does the LA Regional Food Bank, on which we depend for much of our food. So let’s check to make sure we’ve filled out both the white and yellow sheets, before we file away the recipient’s card.

Supermarket Food Drive Help is needed Saturday August 9 in front of Albertson’s Market at Victory and Fallbrook in two hour shifts, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Call Al Trumpler (818) 887-9384.

Volunteer News We welcome Peggy Bender and Marilyn Kelleher, who were recently trained. Also, we welcome to the Board Rosemary Capodieci from St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, a Pantry member congregation. The Board sends condolences to the family of Sharon Blake, a long-time supporter, who recently passed away.

Tributes for a minimum donation of $5, you can help the Pantry and honor or remember someone; info and check to Earl Lewis, 6036 Shirley Ave., Tarzana, CA 91356.
