*The Storehouse is now open EVERY Wednesday! 

* The Storehouse is part of People Gotta Eat, a group of St. Joseph County Food Pantries who have partnered with United Way and Northern Indiana Food Bank to raise money for area food pantries (including The Storehouse).  Right now we are trying to raise funds to match a grant of up to $125,000, but time is running out.  We are selling McDonalds coupon booklets with over $30 worth of coupons for $5.  They coupons are good until Dec., 2011.  They’d make great stocking stuffers.  We also have leftover Foodstock 2010 tshirts for $10.  If anyone is interested in purchasing these, just call Christy Stephens at 574-970-7101 or email info@theStorehouseOnline.org.  
 
* Are you a gardener or do you know someone who may have excess produce?  Don’t forget The Storehouse!  You can drop off your produce at the River Valley Church office during regular office hours of 9-12 and 1-4 Mon.-Fri.  We’ll make sure that your produce gets to the families who need it in our area!
 
* We’re looking for a few good volunteers.  Please contact Christy Stephens for more info at 574-970-7101 or email info@TheStorehouseOnline.org.


* The Storehouse is now partnering with St. Mark MissionaryNew Life Christian Fellowship, and Penn High School to encourage and feed families who are struggling in our area!        

* Thank you to Golden Living Center for the generous grant which was presented to The Storehouse on Wednesday, April 28th, 2010!      

* Needed items:  hygiene (especially shampoo, feminine hygiene items, and non-gel deodorant), canned chicken, canned fruit, and peanut butter.
