Volunteering at local Food Pantries
OLIH Parishioners Kathy Avey and Phil Kohler chat about their experiences volunteering at local food pantries.
Phil shared after filming that one thing he wants people to understand is that although donating food is a great way of helping the food pantries, donations of money helps even more!
Also a shout out to local convenience stores and restaurants that share their abundance. Made my heart feel good when he shared that there are places that donate their prepared foods (sandwiches and salads) and how much this helps out people in need!
