Thanks from OLBS

The Souperbowl of Caring shopping/stocking trip was a great success.

I received an email last week thanking our group for our contributions.


Hello Karen,

I am so sorry I was not able to come down and thank the youth group before they left yesterday. Thank you for all you did for our food pantry. God bless you and the youth of St. Thomas for always thinking of us.

Blessings on your day,
Mark
