Card of Thanks - Food Pantry

            The Franklin County Food Pantry is happy to announce that the recent US Mail Carrier Food Drive was a huge success, thanks to the Mail Carriers in Apalachicola and Eastpoint. The total donation of food was double the amount of last year. These donations helped the Pantry in meeting the ever-growing need in our community, which has increased approximately 35 to 40 percent (families served).

            In these very difficult economic times, the citizens of Franklin County, in their spirit of helping others, deserve a big "Thank You." To all the Apalachicola and Eastpoint Mail Carriers, who organized and advertised the event; collected the food and unloaded their mail trucks, your dedication and hard work in making this happen is greatly appreciated.

            We would also like to thank Postmasters Alan Ballas and Lionel Bliss. We appreciate your time and effort in support for this event. On behalf of the Franklin County Food Pantry participants, thank you to everyone.

            Sincerely,

            Franklin County Food Pantry
