“If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.”
― Chinese Proverb

DONATIONS: Thank you so much to all who brought dinner fixings and turkeys to the Food Shelf prior to Thanksgiving. We did meet our goal! We had several businesses and neighborhoods doing food drives. We appreciate all the generosity! We also are very appreciative of the financial donations received and hope you find that you can continue to provide funds that we can put towards our purchases of items on our shopping list. Please note that the Food Shelf operates on an all-volunteer staff and financial donations to cover the cost of food and utilities.
Happy Holidays!
Please stay safe and well!
