Community Cultivator's

The ministry team from Community Cultivator's stopped in at the pantry to share what their ministry does with Ken. This ministry is so neat! They go to the homes of people in need of landscaping up keep and do it FREE of charge. The team wanted to know if Ken knew of anyone who might be in need of their service. Ken mentioned that he knew of a lady who had loss her husband. She attends Sorrento Baptist Church. She was alone with her children and didn't have anyone or the funds to help her with her yard and landscaping.So, they made an appointment to go to the women's home along with a respresentative from her church. Here is part of the Community Cultivator Team along with a Ralph who is an Elder in her church and the women they will be helping. They met at her home so they could take a look at everything that needed to be done.This will be a total blessing to this family.

The team will be there in a few weeks to work wonders to her yard and landscaping! What a blessing!

Spread the Word!

Hello everyone!

This is Emily and I am going to start weekly updates for the WOFP. I stopped by the pantry on Monday and was so excited to see all the exciting things happening there. Here is an update:

These boxes all hold clothes. Many of them hold BRAND NEW clothes that our friend Samantha had donated to her and she in turned donated them to the pantry.
Here is Millie holding up one of the new outfits. The pantry is going to be putting together back to school gift boxes for needy children. We need donations such as gift cards to Wal-Mart or Target, any new school supplies, backpacks,clothes and bed or bath linens etc . . . . . Please bring or send all your donations to the West Orange Food Pantry. Make a difference in a life of a child!
The pantry is in also need of furniture. At this time we are NOT taking any knick knacks but we do need furniture or appliances. We have three families that we are trying to house and we need to help them set up their household. Please feel free to forward this information to anyone you know. Also, the pantry will come and pickup the items for FREE. In the future when you have items you do not want anymore . . .. please think of the WOFP :-)
While I was in the pantry looking around this man handed Millie a cash donation. What a nice surprise! Thank you for your generosity!
Also, if you look in the above picture you can see we have been working hard on the thrift store. We now have all the clothes up on racks and everything is so organized. Thanks Millie and the WOFP crew for working so hard to get it looking so good.

We still need donations of clothes, furniture, appliances, toys and cash donations. Also, if you are unsure if we will take certain items please call Millie at the number listed on the blog and she can give you more information. Help us spread the word of all the great things going on at the WOFP!!!!
