OPEN Tues. 10-12, Fri. 9-11 Message from Barbara Smith,

Food Pantry Manager

Happy New Year! As we make our way into 2020, I’d like to acknowledge the Longmeadow community for all of their work to make the holidays special. From food drives at all three elementary schools to turkey donations from Rachel’s Table, Care One at Redstone and FOLOCA, our food pantry was well-stocked and able to provide complete holiday meals for all of our pantry patrons. Members of the knitting club knitted personal care bags, scarves and dishcloths that were included in our annual holiday bags delivered to all Meals on Wheels recipients, and other Adult Center members donated treat bags and others items that were included in the bags. The Origami Club made fun holiday cards for each holiday and students from St. Mary’s made Thanksgiving cards that were distributed throughout the center. DPW employees donated time to help our kitchen staff make extra holiday meals for everyone receiving Meals on Wheels. Volunteer drivers delivered the extra meals and winter essentials bags to all of the recipients. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the Adult Center community in 2019. Please contact me if you are interested in becoming involved in the coming year.

Veterans Circle Meeting N# J/*'/)2 M!!($*,

Our next meeting is February 5th

V!(!)/*<’ N!-<

Happy New Year! I have to begin this note to say how appreciative we are for the donations we received through the holidays. Care One at Red Stone, Rachel’s Table and FOLOCA provided us with Turkeys and fixings for all our pantry members. Also, Center School, Wolf Swamp School, Blueberry Hill School, and the Maternal Association held food drives to restock our shelves. And a special shout-out goes to Lily Tracy, a student at LHS, who again coordinated a food drive on our behalf at the last basketball game. The pantry volunteers have worked tirelessly to sort, restock and package food for our members. I am so grateful to our team that they all deserve mentioning: Elizabeth Irving, Elaine Weiner, Judy Baskin, Marta Leander, Camryn Boutin, Stephanie & Eugene Simmons, Lucy Mooney, Cory Odentz, and Joan McPartland. And last but not least is our own Erin Koebler who is the glue that pulls us all together to stay organized. Thank you so much for a great year and wishing you all a happy, healthy New Year.
