Hunger Is Not a Disease

Welcome Hunger Buster or Snow White or White Lightening or

Wheels with Meals, or whatever we come up with.

Whatever you’re going to be called…welcome!

We’ve got a contest going here:  If you name our shiny new low mileage Chevy Van, you’ll win the prize of a jar of peanut butter.

Our brand new shiny, white Chevy van 2500  has been a long time coming.  We outgrew Vanessa months and months ago but nobody  really talked about it.  Setting up this pantry has been a very expensive venture and we lived with the Caravan as long as we possibly could and then hung on another few months.

We held a fund drive in November which brought in some much needed $$$.  Now…thanks to everyone’s generosity Prasida is driving around in our brand new shiny, low mileage Chevy panel truck from Deitz Motors on Route 28.

Now, Prasida and Francine will  return from Latham on Mondays with all the food we need.  We hope we never run out of produce again…ever.

We’d been looking for months.  Finally, last week, Prasida and Bob Overton drove over and saw this gorgeous beauty  waiting for us.

I’m not into numerology very much but even I could tell I’d never seen such a gorgeous license plate.

This van might have surfaced weeks sooner but, energetically, we needed to open a space for it in our lives.  Plus, (and this is no small deal), Prasida had to get up one day and drink an extra cup of tea before 9:00 a.m..  That threw her into high gear and she really got things done.

This week, our pantry found a snow plow team, arranged for more electricity in our greenhouse, bought a Chevy van, and (whew) I don’t know what else!

All this happened because everyone got together for a lunchtime meeting on Tuesday.  To-do lists were  passed around.  People signed on the dotted line.

The Reservoir Food Pantry took giant steps forward.  I offer  sincere gratitude and heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in this pantry in any way.  We are getting things done this week that I did not think would happen for another year.

It is an honor and a pleasure to be a part of the Reservoir Food Pantry.
