Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! To all of the volunteers who helped today at Florence Food Share and at mapleton food share. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donated a semi truck load of 40,600 lbs of food split equally in our two communities to benefit those in need. We salute our volunteers including those from our local Florence Rotary Club and other helping hands who helped us unload these deliveries. This is part of the Church world wide humanitarian relief program with other deliveries scheduled to each community along the Oregon coast and also those communities ravaged by fires.
