Sharing good news with the community BY FRANCINE FULTON
Members of the Pegasus Fastpitch Softball Team volunteered to sort nonperishable food items for the Honey Brook Food Pantry’s holiday food giveaway.
HBFP clients blessed with holiday food, toys and winter coats
C
hristmas was a little brighter and warmer thanks to the efforts of the Honey Brook Food Pantry (HBFP). During its regular monthly food distribution on Dec. 13, 712 clients were provided food, and more than 900 brand-new toys were given out for the children of the pantry’s clients. Families also had the opportunity to pick out free coats to wear this winter. Additionally, the HBFP held its annual holiday food distribution on Dec. 16, during which 300 families received holiday dinners.
Additional toys and coats were also given out that day. “On Dec. 16, (we provided) a turkey dinner with all the side dishes, a pie for each family, produce and fruit and (gave out) another round of toys and coats,” reported Ken Ross, HBFP board chair, noting that the new toys and new and gently used coats were gathered from the community as part of a toy and coat drive held earlier in December. In addition to the regular pantry volunteers, members of the Pegasus Fastpitch Softball Team packed the pantry’s nonperishables for the holiday food See Honey Brook Food Pantry pg 5 Food is distributed to pantry clients in a drive-through format.

There was no shortage of good news that was shared in the Community Courier in 2023. Readers were introduced to charitable people in the community, and they learned a b o u t s p e c i al e vent s and activities by nonprofit groups, churches and school students. In 2023, readers met Adah Lake of Morgantown, a Twin Valley Middle School student who founded Kindness Blooms, which provides free bouquets of freshly picked flowers from the family’s backyard to community members. The flowers are displayed on a flower stand in from of the family home. Adah gave away more than 30 bouquets last summer and plans to continue the effort next year. Other youths who actively did their part to serve the community were members of Girl Scout Troop 1080 of Birdsboro who created a Blessing Box filled with free food for people in need. The girls installed the box as part of their Bronze Award project. The food sharing box is located next to the borough police station at the corner of Cinder and Mill streets in Birdsboro.

Honey Brook Food Pantry from pg 1 “Families then leave their cars for a flea market, a clothing van, to choose o t h e r b u l k fo o d s a n d (take advantage) all of the resources who are on-site, including medical, legal or employment (agencies).” For example, representatives from the Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network and CareerLink were on hand during the Dec. 13 distribution. The HBFP also offers personal care items, special foods for diabetics and the Under 5 Kids Program, which provides highly specialized foods, books, baby formula and clothing for children.
Ross said that the pantry has been required to expand its efforts over the past two years because of an increase in clients. He cites the high cost of food and heating oil as some of the causes of the increase. The pantry also serves senior citizens who are living on a fixed income. “On Wednesday, Dec. 13, we saw 195 families and nearly 700 people - the highest we’ve ever seen,” he noted. “We’ve also been averaging about 40 home deliveries each month to homebound individuals.” Ross noted that the pantry receives thank you letters
and texts from the families it serves. One Elverson client recently wrote, “Dear Generous Souls: I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love, food, supplies and more that have made an enormous impact on our lives. Your hearts are enormous and felt closely.” For more information about the HBFP, visit www .honeybrookfoodpantr y .org or search for “Honey Brook Food Pantr y ” on Facebook. For up-to-date information about food distributions, call 610273-6102 or contact Ross at KRoss1414@aol.com.
