CCD students from St Anthony's as well as other student volunteers were on hand this Thursday to help with food preparation and food distribution for the many people who visited the pantry. The efforts of those who chose to use some of their vacation time to work at the pantry is a strong testimony to the caring character of these young people. Wherever you might have looked Thursday the students could be seen - eagerly gathered to speak with Father Landry; rapidly wheeling dollies and handtrucks loaded with potatoes, carrots, onions, yogurt, eggs, milk, cereal, tofu, lettuce; carefully bagging produce; happily making and serving lunches; and, of course, tirelessly distributing food.
With the many students on hand to help, several of our regular volunteers even had a few minutes just before the pantry opened to share some laughter and pose for a group photo.
The student volunteers that come to the pantry are a great help and are greatly appreciated when they are available but we do very much depend on the hard work done by our regular volunteers to keep the pantry going each and every week. Thank you all.
