Friends of the MUST Neighborhood Pantry on Mimosa!
from Scotty Brewington:
A final wrap on the Easter fundraiser for the Roswell fire victims: You donated over $4,500!!
Each of the six families (19 kids between them) received:
- $700 in cash and gift cards
- A Honey Baked Ham
- Ready-to-eat “sides” and rolls prepared by the RUMC kitchen staff
- A large Easter lily
- Laundry detergent
An additional $320 was donated after the gift cards were purchased, so we gave that to Gilma to use for the families as other needs arise.
I leave you with this… an Easter story: As the donations rolled in, volunteers also offered additional furniture and beds for these families. One mother received two twin beds and mattresses today along with her Easter delivery. She owns her own housecleaning company here in Roswell. She was so grateful that she told Gilma she would like to help an elderly person by cleaning his/her house for free. Happy Easter!! What a wonderful world this could be…
