WIZARDS IN THE FOOD PANTRY


By GEORGE LANZOT III

In the town of Washingtonville, many volunteers go to the local food pantry to donate time to the less fortunate. 

Volunteers  have a job to do as they travel across a series of tables.  In the hands of the participants will be bags and carts constantly moving around in the building collecting food to be delivered. At the end of the day, all the work  is loaded into cars along with a positive vibe and customers' satisfaction.

Helping the unfortunate requires no trophy or praise, but it gives a people the feeling that they are doing the right thing. The volunteer may not experience life the same as the empty handed, however, they can still find some way to help. Volunteers learn traits or ways of life from a different angle as they see the appreciation on the faces of those they are helping.  People who are distressed only require simple needs in order to have their hearts touched.  It helps make them think of the spirit of life.  Despite their challenges, the people usually always express their love for one another and seem to persevere on faith to continue the the rocky road of life. 

The Food Pantry is open every first Friday and third Wednesday of every month located at the Little Lambs building.
