How Much Food Did the Temple Terrace Juniors Collect?

The St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry at Corpus Christi Catholic Church will have plenty of food to distribute to needy residents this summer, thanks to the GFWC Temple Terrace Junior Woman's Club.

In its citywide debut food drive, the club collected 150 bags of food totaling 800 pounds May 18. 

With its pantry's shelves nearly bare, the donation to the food pantry came in just in time to ensure that there will be enough food to give out during the summer months when children are not getting school meals and need to receive nutritious food at home.

The Juniors put out fliers requesting staples including peanut butter and jelly, cereals and macaroni and cheese.
