Hi all. Just checking in about this. Do we have any feedback on how the
donations went/are going? Are people continuing to donate? And is Russo's
providing the goods at a wholesale rate to the Watertown Food Pantry? That
would be very generous as it would stretch the funds further. Best,
Francesca

ok.you may already have heard this: call Victor Moreira at Russo’s,
617-719-4107 and give him your credit card # (don’t leave card number in a
message or a text). He’ll do the rest—issue a card that the WFP can spend,
but keep it in a pouch for Kathy Cunningham of the WFood Pantry. clear?
I didn’t ask about a confirmation number. sorry.
$25 is Victor’s minimum for processing funds.
Clear? B

The Food Pantry in Watertown served 32 families, 85 individuals today in
an hour and a half! Numbers will only rise as earnings end for many. Let’s
see how the plan works this week. If people want to donate less than $25,
please email me and we’ll figure out how to combine donations when
possible. Barbara
