Volunteers for the Martensville Food Pantry were very busy preparing Easter Dinner Hampers for their recipients this year.
None of this would have been possible without the help of contributions from; Martensville & District Lions Club, Martensville Co-op, Bergthaler Mennonite Church, École Holy Mary School, and various individual donations.
The Martensville Food Pantry was able to provide 36 hampers for people in need this year with a total of 135 recipients.
The hampers included ham, fresh carrots and potatoes, corn niblets, gravy, stuffing, jello, juice, dinner buns, pumpkin pie, chocolate treats and Easter Bunnies for the children.
A total of 60 children received Easter Bunnies thanks to the donation by the Martensville & District Lion’s Club.
“We thank the Martensville Co-op for their support and a big thank you to the Martensville & District Lions Club for their donation of Chocolate Easter Bunnies for all the children included in the hampers,” the coordinators for the MFP stated via social media regarding the generous donations received throughout the holiday.
They are now requesting several items that they are running low on such as; juice, canned ham, tuna, canned beans, and jello. If you’d like to donate, text/call (306) 280-1255 or send a message on Messenger via the ‘Martensville Free Pantry’ Facebook page.
