We received this thank-you note from Kay at Orange Congregations in Mission after the first delivery of apples arrived. The apples were purchased with donations made by employees, owners, and shoppers during the Apples for Families campaign in our stores in October and November. Thanks again to everyone who participated. If you’re interested in volunteering at OCIM, learn more here.
Dear Weaver Street Market Owners, Customers, and Employees,
Thank you very much for including Orange Congregations in Mission’s food pantry in your “Apples for Families” campaign. We received our first delivery of apples today; they are beautiful and smell so good! Thank you to the cashiers for talking to the customers about the campaign and thank you to all of Weaver Street Market’s Hillsborough shoppers for purchasing the “Apples.”
Every year the requests for food assistance go up. Between October 2013 and October 2015, there was a 20% increase in households receiving food. Being able to offer families such fresh, top quality apples is a huge treat.
Again, thank you to everyone involved in such a successful “Apples for Families” campaign.
Kay Stagner,
Manager of Client Services
