Blessed this year with generous donations

We are overwhelmed with the outpouring of love and care for the families of the Maltby Food Bank. We heard over and over “there wouldn’t have been Christmas at our house without your help” or “we didn’t know how Santa was going to come to our house this year.”

Thank you friends who gave us toys for our children or adopted a family for Christmas. It is very hard to have to admit you can’t make ends meet and you need help. Our clients are blessed. Our neighbors and friends responded to our needs and our pleas for food was generous. We will be able to give our families good food for several months. Thank you, everyone, for caring for people you do not know. Thank you for giving from your heart. God bless each of you.
