“I picked up some food there today and I just want to say thank you so much for you guys for opening up and being a light to the community. It has been a blessing. It’s has been a little bit of a rough go for me personally in the past several months and to be able to come in and get some food it’s been a blessing. So, I was just filled with joy when I came home with a couple of bags full of groceries. So just thank you for everything you guys do.
You guys are amazing and keep up the great work.”
