Last night, I got this email from someone who was referred to our pantry:


"I am a single working mom barely making it on a teacher's salary. I just recently had child support reduced which will cause me to struggle to put food not he table and pay bills for the next few months until I can rearrange some things in order to make my money go farther."

I got this email from an elementary school teacher at a school in a relatively affluent area of town.
I don't think most of us expect our children's teachers to end up needing a pantry to put food on the table.
