The next two Thursdays at St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry at Holy Family Church will be especially busy. Helping out Nancy O’Kane and her team will be 2nd grade students from Schlarman Academy. O’Kane says this all came about when she was communicating with Mia, one of the second grade students.
AUDIO: One of the students in second grade, who is my pen pal. and we’ve been writing back and forth. And she was talking about helping out, doing different things. So I decided that maybe it would be fun if the second graders came to our food pantry, and actually helped us out. So that’s what they’re doing. They’re coming on Thursday. They’ll help with packed bags, and they’ll help us distribute it to the people that come to us.
The Schlarman Academy students will be there both May 9th and 16th. The St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry at Holy Family Church, 444 East Main in Danville, is open from 10 AM to Noon every Thursday.
