Loaves & Fishes Update (June 2010)

Peggy Snyder reports that during June Loaves & Fishes served 75 families (260 individuals).

In these hard times, the need for our community's Loaves & Fishes is increasing, so please donate whatever you can. Particular needs are canned meals, sauces, green beans, 100% fruit juice, pancake mix, syrup, and canned meat (no tuna, please). Professionally processed meat—especially—hamburger is also welcome!
