FOOD PANTRY CONTRIBUTIONS
Because of the very generous giving by many good people, a mid-month delivery of food was made to the Bay View Community Center Food Pantry.
Ten solidly packed boxes and bags of food, including about 75 jars of jam/jelly and peanut butter were delivered. This donation was greatly appreciated. We have learned that about 50 families and individuals depend on the Bay View Pantry. These are mostly employed people who don’t earn enough to pay for all their food needs, so our help is needed and appreciated.
Please continue to donate for the remainder of this month and beyond. THANK YOU!
SAVE THE DATE
Our annual School Bag Day will be July 31st this year. Come join us for sewing, ironing, cutting and much more. There is something for everyone to do. We will start at 9 and work through the day so come when you can for as long as you can. Lunch, fun and a good time will be served. Don’t forget to keep your eye out for supplies as well:
70-page spiral bound note books (college or regular ruled)
Ball-point pens – black or blue (no gel pens please)
Number 2 pencils – unsharpened
2 ½ inch erasers
Rulers with centimeters (these often will have inches on one side and centimeters on the other)
Pencil sharpeners
Blunt end scissors
Crayons – 16 or 24 (24 preferred so everyone gets the same)
Watch our Facebook page for hints on where supplies were spotted at good prices
JUNE FOOD PANTRY
Children like summer a whole bunch. Until they have to make their own lunch.
Help them out, donate peanut butter and jelly. Then they can play with a full belly!
While food donations are greatly appreciated, Bay View Community Center can greatly use money donations to buy the items that they are in need of.
