Dear Friends of the Poor,

On Valentines Day Paul's Pantry celebrated its 25^th anniversary.

Looking back at Paul's Pantry's humble beginnings in 1984, no one in their wildest dreams could have imagined what our community would be able to accomplish.

Providing needy families with free groceries for as long as needed, without using tax dollars, seemed like an impossible dream.

Thanks to you, Leo Frigo's dream has become a reality. Over those 25 years Paul's Pantry's volunteers have logged over 2.1 million hours, handling over 97 million pounds of food, at a mere cost of just 5.2 cents per pound.

We would like to thank the many grocery stores, businesses, schools, churches, volunteers and benefactors that have supported Paul's Pantry's efforts these past 25 years.

Every day before we distribute food, we gather together with joined hands and hearts in prayer, giving thanks for all of our blessings. You, the people of the Greater Green Bay area, are truly a blessing.

May God bless all of you, for allowing us to pass along your kindness and generosity to the needy of our community, through the hands and hearts of Paul's Pantry's volunteers.

Sincerely,

Craig Robbins          Gene Schuh                    Angie Allard
