Pieta, you always make my day better when I came down the stairs to my home  and see a bag of goodies:  razors, shampoo, feminine hygiene products, tooth paste.  These are basics –  things  most of us  take for granted.

But, when a person shops at a pantry, nothing can be taken for granted.  People coming to the Reservoir Food Pantry have little and  need much.

At the Reservoir Food Pantry, we know  items of dignity are important to our shoppers, because these items are simply beyond the financial reach for many.    People sometimes go to a pantry when there is absolutely no money in the household.

This is true of all categories:

seniors

homeless

ill

unemployed.

Members of the Ulster County Board of Realtors Community Services Committee, you  have an ongoing awareness of the issues confronting poor and destitute people in Ulster County.  You demonstrate this throughout the year, as you generously give items of dignity for our pantry shoppers.

As Boiceville’s only pantry, we see a level of need  not obvious in a more urban setting.

Thank you to everyone at the Ulster County Board of Realtors.

Peace and food for all.
