Food Pantry News
Monday’s pantry on June 2 was very busy. We had run out of bread, margarine and butter, and an alternative to hotdogs. The only fresh veggies left were turnips, kale, and onions. By closing, only 2 cartons of eggs were left. Variety was almost non-existent. Fortunately, we didn’t have too many customers in the last 45 minutes. We did have “Rescued Food” courtesy of the Dandy Gas Station/Mart in Burdett in the form of milk, sandwiches, and snack foods. Those items went quickly.
Thank you to Judy Riley, Joe Farrell, Bobbi Farrell, Amy Erickson, Karen Perkins, and Ginny Miller for volunteering. Thank you to Alexis Schafer for delivering the eggs and to Pam Postle for being the substitute Emergency Book keeper. Thank you to the DeCloux family for donating eggs. Our next pantry is on June 16. As always, we can use extra help for set-up at 8 a.m. and at the distribution at 3:30 p.m. Able bodied men and women are needed to negotiate stairs to bring up food, put it away, and unpack the Food Bank truck.

      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
