Featured Story - Volunteer

Carl

We have many great volunteers but Carl is special.  He faithfully serves every Saturday, sitting at 'Carl's Table' passing out smiles and whatever happens to be on the table that day.  He knows the clients and they ask about him when he is not there.  Carl has become a fixture at RCC and there is something missing when he cannot be there.  Carl has a servant's heart and is one of the things that makes this pantry so very special.

Featured Story - Patron

Phillip

I do not have a picture of the patron that I want to highlight this month.  His name is Phillip and he passed away last week.  I have known Phillip for ten years and during that time we became friends.  There were many times when he would pick up food for someone who could not come, or when he would bring someone who had no way to get to the pantry.  I celebrated with him a few years ago when he won the beautifully decorated Christmas tree we gave away.  I heard he displayed it proudly each year.  I grieved with him when he lost his favorite cousin and nephew.  I grieve for him today as I am sure many others do.  Rest well my friend.
