20 grocery boxes for our Thursday pantry

Hi [First name],

Since you last gave, [Name] came through our Thursday pantry line after a cut in work hours. [Name] left with a full box and a little less worry. Your past gifts are part of why that box was there.

This Giving Tuesday, our goal is $1,000. That pays for 20 grocery boxes, each with enough food for a family of four for one week.

Would you come back with an early gift? Early gifts give the day momentum and help us plan the next pantry shift: [Donation link]

Thank you for being part of this neighborhood.
