Community Thanks September 12, 2010
PROJECT: Grateful for help
The Community Action Partnership Food Bank would like to thank the folks who participated in the "Lowe's Heroes" project. In just three days they dug post holes, set the fence posts and strung a new chain-link fence around our two garden areas! The people who worked so hard in the heat and wind storm are; Tina West, Kari Hawkins, Ty Piper, Gary Nelson, Steve Taylor, Sunshine Manquez, John Meyer and Chris Hughes.
We are the fortunate recipients of this annual project and for that we are most grateful. To all of you, job well done! You have renewed our sense of pride in where we work and what we do.
Sincerely,
The employees and volunteers of the Community Action Partnership Food Bank
