Yesterday, my husband and I brought the donations we received from our Fall Friendraiser to The Wilson Food Pantry. Through the wonderful generosity of our friends and family, we raised $11,000.00 for this needy cause!!!
I wanted a cute way to give the director the donations - so I went online to find some templates and came across THIS template for a popcorn box.
Since I haven't been feeling well all week, I didn't have the energy to make it very elaborate - so my design is a bit basic - but still pretty cute. I used Hero Arts Flourish stamp and glued on gems. I used a Nestie label and PTI's sentiment.
I wanted to share a few pictures we took at the Food Pantry when we brought the donations. Here we are with Joyce Gumbus, the coordinator and founder, who began the food pantry after retiring from work in 2005. Each week, the pantry gives food to over Stamford 500 families.
Here I am with Ms. Gumbus and some of her happy volunteers!
Ms. Gumbus told us that this week the pantry was almost out of funds and she was behind on a few of her bills. She thought we were bringing her a few hundred dollars worth of donations. When we told her it was $11,000.00 - she let out a few wonderful screams! There were some tears flowing and a lot of hugs being given at this point!!
