If it's early Friday morning you can always find us hanging outside behind the back door to Tom Thumb! How early, you ask, well about 8:30am Monday through Friday various Metro Relief volunteers pick up donated goods from Tom Thumb to be given out in the pantry or to the homeless via the relief bus.
We pick up on Fridays and deliver and stock the items into Metro's cooler. Some of these items will go out on the bus to Unity Park in Ft. Worth on the same day. Some of the breads and desserts will go out on Saturday's bus run to the homeless in South Dallas. The remainder will be distributed through the pantry on Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays.
Generally there are two carts full of desserts Monday through Friday that Tom Thumb graciously donates to the pantry. They are not the only business to this, on Fridays we also pick up pastries from Starbucks. Every Wednesday, Papa John's donates pizzas. On Tuesdays one of our volunteers picks up donations from Olive Garden. Lots of great community support helping needy families get back on their feet! Now you see why I'm smiling!!
We have straw and feed for our donkeys, with bread and wine for me and your female servant and the young man with your servants. There is no lack of anything. Judges 19:19
