Share the Harvest dinner at St. Patrick's Hall (
)
To the Editor:
Milford Presents would like to take this opportunity the thank all of our friends and neighbors for participating in the 12th annual Share the Harvest Dinner on Tuesday, Sept. 17. St Patrick’s Hall was beautifully decorated by Kasia Lojewska from Behind the French Doors and Laura Staine from Willow, and Nancy Potter and her volunteers from the Ecumenical Food Pantry were on hand to welcome and serve.
Thanks to the generosity of the 100 people who bought tickets and came together. Milford Presents was able to present a van full of pantry supplies, including essential non-perishable food items, baby foods and formula, toiletry goods, and pet foods. We also made a cash donation of $4,000 to our neighbors in need. In the spirit of giving, we encourage anyone who was unable to participate to make a direct donation to the “Ecumenical Food Pantry” -- donations may be dropped off at any time and checks may be mailed to the organization at 321 5th St, Milford PA 18337, and to keep this cause close to your heart throughout the year.
