Newsletter for January 2013
Hi Everybody!
Wishing Everyone a Healthy, Happy New Year!
A few days before XMAS, I brought two carloads of food to the pantry at Real World. The youth always unload the food and stock the shelves
with words of thanks and disbelief that people can be so generous to strangers. Each time I bring food, the same words are always repeated:
“You don’t know how much we appreciate this food.”
Each month, I collect a trunk full of food from the clients at The Club Fitness Center for Women at 40th Street and Thunderbird in Phoenix.
At the entrance to the gym, JoAnn Mullooly, the owner has a poster which talks about Real World, J3T, and the requested items. Just before
Christmas, I went to collect the food and was so surprised at what I found. Clients had donated not only food but also gift certificates for local
stores so that the youth could experience the joy of receiving gifts on Christmas. I got tears in my eyes as I became overwhelmed by the generosity
of everyone who has given to J3T over this past year.
This month’s request: 2 microwaveable mac and cheese containers and a package of peanut butter (or cheese) crackers.
I have attached a photo of part of the pantry at Real World to show everyone what we have helped to create.
Happy New Year,
