Flower Power: Tami F.

First visit to the Food Pantry: 2016

Honestly without the Food Pantry, I would run out of food with 2 weeks of the month left and not have anything to eat.

What I appreciate most with this Food Pantry is the fresh fruits and vegetables.  I am a heart transplant patient, and I have spent a lot of time in the hospital in the last year.   The food choices I have are very limited due to my health, but with the Food Pantry, I can eat healthy food.  I can depend on the food being good and not buying spoiled food so as to sicken me even more. 

And I would especially like to say thank you for the flowers I get every now and then.  Last summer I got out of the hospital at the end of July and the Saturday I came to distribution I got a bouquet of flowers which I gave to my 4 year old granddaughter.  She smiled so brightly and no one knew for the better that grandma had not a penny to her name.  it made my heart so happy that with the help of the Food Pantry I was able to give my granddaughter those flowers.  They still sit in her room, she had her mother dry them out and she made a picture using them which was later framed.

Thank you for being both a physical and mental companion in my life.
