The CARE Package

The CARE Package Food Pantry distributed food to 61 familes today. 20 new families were included in this distribution. A special thanks goes out to our director, Teresa Crawford and her staff; Pastor John Hasslet (Cottondale United Methodist) and students from the University of Alabama School of Social Works. We had the opportunity to counsel and pray with many of the people who came to receive assistance
