Dorcas Food Pantry Donation
by AndrewIn mid July, several donors asked us if we could help in some way fight food insecurity during this pandemic. We went to work researching the best approach. We decided to donate $1500 to the Dorcas Ministries Food Pantry here in Cary, North Carolina, primarily because Mama Edna loved to shop at Dorcas Thrift shop to support their mission. Paying it forward was a huge part of her life, so we paid it forward. #dorcas #growyourown #foodinsecurity
