MUST Neighborhood Pantry

From Scotty Brewington:

Hello All! Our first night as the MUST Neighborhood Pantry on Mimosa was a success! We served 81 families on Monday night (126 children; 21 seniors and 167 adults).

Our next pantry will be on Tuesday, September 6th! Though most monthly pantries will be held on the first Monday of the month, September’s event will be on a Tuesday because of the holiday weekend.

A few notes: 1) The Produce Team shift has moved to 1:00-3:00 PM. 2) We will be collecting laundry detergent and feminine hygiene items for 9/6. If you have time to pick some up, you can drop them off at RUMC on Sundays 9:00-12:00 or on Tuesday, September 6th 12:00 AM-4:00 PM.
