This Week at the Pantry
Thank You, Donors!
On Sunday, October 15, many pets were blessed outside First Community South. In honor of the Pet Blessing, Heart to Heart held a collection drive for pet food. Between the worship services and the blessing, we collected 66 pounds of pet food and $23 in donations. Thank you to everyone that participated.
