What a wonderful way to close out the year at Cornucopia Food Pantry. We were honored to receive a Penny Wars donation from Spring Creek School in the amount of $633.00. This gift was made possible by a kindhearted young girl named Emerson V.
The fourth and fifth grade classes compete to collect the most pennies and every student then writes an essay. The student whose essay is selected gets to present a check to their charity. Emerson’s essay was the winner, and she chose to write about Cornucopia Food Pantry.
Emerson knows our Pantry well. She often volunteers alongside her grandparents during our Saturday Distribution days, where she sees firsthand how many people in our community need help. In her essay, she shared her hope that people would donate to Cornucopia so no one in our community feels hungry — and we can all work together towards ending world hunger. For someone so young, her compassion and insight are truly inspiring. Thank you Emerson, for being part of the Cornucopia family.
