Thanks and what we need for this week

The last several weeks have been a whirlwind!  Chris and I spent 16 days away and brought home the most beautiful little one year old boy from China.  His name is Lucas Michael and we absolutely love him!  There were so many people who kept Bear Necessities going in our absence and we are so thankful for each of them!

Thank you to the generous donor (and his shopper) who provided all the food for six weeks so that didn't have to be done during that time.

Thank you to the volunteers who came and packed and delivered bags each week!

Thank you to my in-laws for being at our home so that volunteers could easily access the food pantry!

Thank you to the team of 7th grade girls who helped with food set up each week!

Thank you to our amazing daughter who has taken on the role of food set up and managed the volunteers each week!

This coming week is the first week that we don't have everything we need and Madeline and her team got a count yesterday for us.  We need:

12 cans of soup
20 cans of ravioli
32 sleeves of ritz crackers

If you are able to drop off a few or several items, it is always appreciated!  Getting good nutritious food to our kiddos is one of the most important things we can do as a community to give them the best possible chance at success!
