THANK YOU! We collected 150lbs for the Goochland Food Pantry.

THANK YOU to everyone who attended last Thursday's PTA meeting and brought food to donate to the Goochland Free Clinic and Family Services Food pantry. This all directly benefits Goochland residents in need with no middle man. the average now is 150 families per week that come in for food every Thursday morning.

We collected 150 pounds of food!

The Goochland Food Pantry is located in the basement of the Family Services house at 3001 River Road West. You can always donate food directly to them by bringing it over there. More information can be found at the Goochland Free Clinic & Family Services website:  http://www.goochlandfreeclinicandfamilyservices.org/
