Hey y’all! Ive been thinking about hosting a trunk or treat type deal at the pantry and wanted to see if any of you would be willing and able to support the event. We would take anything like prepackaged items- gummies- candy- little snacks- granola bars- any of that type of snackies will do- if there doesn’t seem to be much interest this year we would just try again next year 🥰 just an effort to mingle with the community and for y’all to mingle with us - love you all and thanks so much for your continued support! Feel free to share 💌

💙 A Helping Hand for Those Who Help Others

Dear Local Restaurant Family,

At the Union County Good Samaritan Center, we are blessed with an amazing group of volunteers who give their time, hearts, and energy to help our neighbors in need. Every Thursday, these volunteers show up ready to serve others, often giving several hours of their day simply because they care about our community.

We are reaching out to our wonderful local restaurants to ask if you would consider donating a meal, food, or even a few items on Thursdays for our volunteers.

It doesn't have to be anything large. A few pizzas, sandwiches, a tray of food, or whatever you are able to share would mean so much. Every meal donated is a reminder to our volunteers that their hard work is appreciated and that our community is standing behind them.

Our volunteers give so much to others. We would love to give them a little something in return. ❤️

If your restaurant would be willing to help provide food on a Thursday, please contact the Union County Good Samaritan Center. We would be incredibly grateful for your kindness and generosity.

Thank you for helping us take care of the people who spend their time taking care of others.

With grateful hearts and helping hands,
Union County Good Samaritan Center
“With Helping Hands & Hearts” 💙

Hey y’all! I know it’s too early to think about Christmas so I just want you to think about toys- Imagine not being able to provide not one single gift to your child on Christmas- I know the true reason for the season and I know you do as well- but let’s face it - NO TROLL LEFT BEHIND- ( if you get that reference we can be besties) new and gently used toys- board games- electronics- journals- art sets- puzzles- leggos- stuffies- from birth to teenagers ( who often get excluded from toy donations and such) not here though- not in Union County- so any new or gently used items will be accepted- sorted accordingly and given to a sweet child around Christmas time- feel free to call with questions- 662-534-0931a love y’all! And we appreciate you sooooo much!
