DIRECTOR'S CORNER

Dear Friends,
    The past few months have been a busy, challenging and exciting time both for me as the new Interim Director and for the PCMA Food Pantry of Pickerington! The community has been very welcoming, caring, and generous.
   As of late March, we are now a member agency of the Mid-Ohio Foodbank. This affiliation will allow us to continue to serve the growing numbers of families living within the Pickerington Local School District boundaries who need a helping hand.
   We are participating in the Feinstein $1 million Challenge in the month of April. The more donations of cash, checks, food items, or pledges we receive in April as a result of the challenge will allow us to receive proportionately more of the $1 million.  If you wish to get more information on the challenge, go to www.feinsteinfoundation.org. Please consider helping to raise funds or collect food in the next few weeks. Together we can make a difference!
   Please see the information to the right under "upcoming events" to find out how you can earn money for the food pantry by enrolling in the Kroger Community Rewards Program. Even if you have been participating, you must re-enroll now to continue to earn rewards.
   A huge thank you to all who support the work of the food pantry in any way, be it through your donations, your time, or your prayers.  A special thanks goes out to our dedicated volunteers who are the heart and soul of the food pantry!

God Bless!
