A message from Jan Arnold at the Fort Mill Care Center . . .

The food bank has been truly blessed by our community. Between mid October and the end of November we have received over 60,000 pounds of food which included 2 scheduled food drives (Girl Scout +9,000 pounds and Boy Scouts + 9,000 pounds) Food is still coming in. I am excited to live in a community that cares this much about others needing help. If past history continues, I expect donations to drop off sharply after the first of the year. This food will have to last until mid May when the Post Office has there food drive. We are still giving out 4500+ pounds a week. I do not see this changing.
