Day 156 - Bread and Treats to the Food Pantry

Wednesday is the one day during the week that our local food pantry is open late to accept donations.  Therefore we always try and visit one or two Wednesdays each month.  I'm just so glad they update their "Current Needs" list daily because it really helps folks know what is most needed.  Today that #1 item is bread so we headed to Dollar Tree (note to self: purchase Dollar Tree stock) and cleared out the bread shelf.

The girls and I then talked about how lucky we are that we don't have to worry about food but that there are families, even in our own neighborhood, that have to worry about it every single day.  I also told them that a lot of families don't get to have treats and cookies very often because they just don't have the extra money to spend on special treats like we can.  So for today's act I allowed the girls to grab some of their favorite treats/snacks to donate to pantry so one of our neighbors in need could enjoy a special treat.  The girls were very excited and the pantry staff very appreciative.
