The Parish Ecumenical Food Pantry would like to thank all those who sorted food, transported food, donated shoeboxes,  wrapped boxes, packed boxes, delivered food, and gave monetary gifts this Christmas. We appreciate the donations from the Parish Senior Citizens, the Post Office collection, Parish Elementary School, APW Middle School, Parish American Legion Auxiliary, and all our churches. A special thank you goes to Ostranders Market, Byrne Dairy, Hopkinson Farms, Diana Rowe, and the Village of Parish for the use of the gym. This year 105 families were able to receive boxes of food due to the continuing generosity of our community.
