Pantry coordinator Maureen shared this story of unexpected generosity:

“The NEEDS pantry received a surprise gift just after Thanksgiving this year. The first day we were open after the holiday was a busy one, and our volunteers were tired at the end of the service day. Just after we closed, the Latin Club at Madeira High School called saying they wanted to deliver donations they’d collected for NEEDS. Unplanned and unexpected, the donation would help us restock after the holiday.

The ‘donations’ turned out to fill three carts — and included items in all of our needed categories. The three students who delivered them were enthusiastic, filling us in on the Latin Club and taking an interest in the workings of the pantry.

A warm NEEDS thank you to all of the members of the Madeira High School Latin Club who contributed!”
