    I spoke with Ron at Basic Needs food bank/thrift store this evening and he said they are in need of canned veggies, protein foods like peanut butter and anything else, really!

    They are open to accept donations tomorrow evening from 6-9 pm if anyone has any extras from triples. They are in the warehouse type buildings behind waffle house and bojangles.

    Is RON still running a SALE? All hanging clothes $1.00? I mentioned this to the cousins that need some winter/horse/farm/junk jeans & they plan to stop by tonight.

    Yes, farming eats clothes...

    Our church sent over a trunk load of foods at the end of June.

    He said it looks like the sale will run through Aug. He is still trying to clear out some stuff to hang more kids clothes and ????????.

    I volunteered there tonight.

    All I can say is WOW! Basic Needs is a great place to see how our little slice of the world helps out those in need. It was a very fullfilling 3 hours.
    And time flies when you are helping to feed 13 families.

    I saw you then. I thought your car was parked in the parking lot (I recognized the name). I was gonna shout Kelyel? when I walked in, but decided not to.

    LOL
