Thank You, Publix Charities!

Thank you, Publix Supermarket Charities, for your ongoing investment in our Community Food Pantry Program. Thanks to you we can help someone like Kate, a working single mother. A month ago, she tested positive for COVID and had to use up all of her paid time off days to quarantine at home. When she tested negative, she returned to work. She was back only a couple of days when there was an outbreak in her daughter’s class. They both had to quarantine again. Kate’s daughter tested positive, but luckily, she was mostly asymptomatic. Kate is now back at work, but the loss of two weeks’ pay was a major blow to her budget. By chance, she passed our mobile pantry while driving home from work. Knowing that she can get food from the pantry and save the money she would have spent on groceries for rent and utilities will be a huge help.
