AIO Food Pantry Stolen $$ Campaign
Donation protected
This is Sarah Vokey from the former Thorndike Creamery. We had a wonderful "wake" for the closing of the business. We wanted to go out with a bang, a party of sorts and to do something good for the community. It worked! We raised over $2,000 for the Area Interfaith Outreach Food Pantry.
Yesterday I got a phone call phone from the president of the board at AIO food pantry. Two days after I dropped off our donation, raised by the wake at Rock City, the pantry was robbed. Specifically, the bank bag containing the money. That someone would steal from an organization that hands out food and clothes and love to people in need just boggles my mind.
So I am asking our large hearted community to give as much as each individual can, every penny counts, to replace the money, plus a bit more. Let's make sure the person who stole it knows that they can not keep us down.
Thank you
