Before their holiday break, students at Madeira Middle School held a food drive to benefit NEEDS. Our pantry coordinators shared this note of appreciation:

“Thank you so much for your donation to the NEEDS pantry in December. You did a great job of collecting so many of the items we needed to help our families during the holiday season. We loved seeing the enthusiasm of the students as they helped us load the car. It’s so special to see young people involved in community service. We’d like to add our special thanks to Ms. Kara Foley for coordinating this effort.

The NEEDS pantry has been in operation for over 40 years, operating out of Kenwood Baptist Church. The number of families we serve each year has more than doubled in the past four years. As a 100% volunteer and donation-run organization, we rely on contributions from schools, churches, and businesses to operate. We appreciate your efforts to help the less fortunate in our community.”
