Food Pantry News
On Monday, June 30, we served 97 households made up of 197 individuals (32 children, 81 adults, 84 seniors). There were 3 new families, all from Trumansburg, but not from the new development. We have received a number of new customers from Crescent Way/Village Grove though. The trend in
customer arrival times remains consistent, with nearly half (47 this week) arriving
within the first 30 minutes! Geesh!
If any of you volunteers speak Spanish, we'd love to be able to call on you to help at the pantry once in a while at the registration table. We have a couple of Spanish-speaking customers and find it difficult to communicate with them. This week wrapped up FPCU's Super-Five-Monday volunteer commitment for May and June! Thank you again to everyone who volunteered!
Bottle and Can Recycling
You can help local youth in need and do your spring cleaning at the same time. When you return your bottles and cans for refunds you can help the Caring and Mission Ministry Team support the Local Youth Initiative. This supports the nurses’ emergency funds for local student in need at the Trumansburg and South Seneca Schools. Return your bottles and cans to:
1. The T-burg Shur-Save recycling and take the paper receipts to the service desk and have them put it in the Presbyterian local you initiative pouch… or
2. The Trumansburg Redemption Center (it has just reopened) on Main Street next to the Post Office. Tell them to put the money in the Presbyterian “jar” and they will sort the bottles and cans for you.
Thank you for your past and continuing support!
Little Free Library
“Business” will pick up as the weather improves. On the warm days the library has been pretty empty when I’ve checked! Fiction and non-fiction for adults needed, if you have any you are ready to pass on. Thanks for all the contributions for children, YA and adults dropped off in the little library and left in kitchen in the bin. They move the fastest! Thanks to you who stop and tidy and add books---they are stored on the shelves along the ramp in the Fellowship Hall. Any help appreciated by me and readers! ~ Carolyn Lange
