Our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed their time, talent, and financial support in 2022 enabling Love All Pantry to reduce some of the daily uncertainty that many of the food insecure families we serve too often encounter.

In July 2020, Kathleen Kirk Stoves finished her largest (at that time) outdoor mural at Central Presbyterian Church. Soon after, she was hired for two more murals to be completed across the street at The Alabama School of Math and Science. The painting of her latest design is being overseen by artist Pat Hall of the Central Arts Collective. In the top left photo, Zach DePolo can be seen adding his artistic talent to the central image of this mural hovering over the westside entrance to Love All Pantry at Central Presbyterian Church. Thank you to the Mobile Arts Council, Blankenships’, and United Rentals for your support!

Art Soup 2022 was Phenomenal. Thank you! Over 650 people came and supported the Love All Pantry! Not to mention over 90 volunteers and countless sponsors who donated soup, beverages, marketing, the band, and hundreds of bowls. Thank you all!

We are so grateful to DoorDash and the United Way of Southwest Alabama for two years of delivering groceries to 150+ families a week as part of their Ride United Last Mile Delivery Program. Filling the shoes that this delivery service provided to food insecure and hungry individuals, families, and community groups will require a commitment of one week per month by new volunteers. Can you help? We need churches, groups, and individuals who are willing to make deliveries once a month. Interested? Call Connie at 251-432-0591.

Please make a tax-deductible donation to Love All Food Pantry. $10 buys 50 pounds of food for families experiencing food insecurity and hunger. From your cell phone, text the code “LOVEALL” to 44-321 to Donate. Or go online at www.LoveAllPantry.org

FYI

In the last three years, households eligible for food assistance received at least $95 more per month as part of a pandemic-era increase to combat hunger. But on March 1, 2023, those emergency benefits began to expire, meaning a smaller monthly food budget for nearly 30 million Americans. This will impact the food insecure families we serve. Please donate as you are able.

Anna Maria Ramirez Sawyer is a hard working volunteer with Colors of Love Ministry through the Mobile First Church of the Nazarene. The volunteers of Colors of Love Ministry deliver food from Love All Pantry to a number of food insecure individuals and families. Thank you for your dedication and service.

Delivery Update

Big thank you to Connie Guggenbiller’s daughter, Tracey Langley, and sister, Janice Bohli, for taking on her delivery responsibilities while Connie went on vacation. Also, thank you to Nancy Hannah, Dan McCleave, and Nicki Patterson for your dedicated service delivering to group homes and senior citizen facilities. We still need help! Would you be willing to commit to one Tuesday a month to help us deliver?

Volunteer Hero

Our Volunteer Hero for May is Slade Watson. He tirelessly works behind the scenes to ensure we have all the supplies we need for Tuesdays. His support allows us to feed our volunteers on Tuesdays, after the food distribution is over. Thank you to those who prepare these excellent meals that all our volunteers enjoy after a strenuous day working at the Pantry.
