Notes of Thanks to Donors from Student Pantry Users:
"Dear Donors, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for giving us food…seriously. There have been a lot of times where I find myself starving in studies and have nothing to eat. You guys are the best!"
"So many students like myself struggle day-to-day. Thank you for helping. You have no idea how the smallest of donations help. God Bless You."
"Thank you. I have two small kids at home that depend on me. Although I make sure they are fed, this will help out."
