NEEDS’ pantry coordinators shared this note to Becky Lockwood and her women’s group at Kenwood Baptist Church, who gave a thoughtful Christmas gift to NEEDS:

“On behalf of everyone here at North East Emergency Distribution Services (NEEDS), we’d like to thank you for your Bible study group’s surprise donation of diapers and paper goods. It was really touching to learn that members decided to give to NEEDS rather than one another at their holiday meeting.

Our pantry flies through our supply of toilet paper and paper towels, as nearly every family receives both. We never seem to have enough! And diapers are most appreciated as they are expensive for us to purchase on our own but essential to many families that we serve.

Again, our thanks and our best wishes to you all for a blessed and happy holiday season!”
