Leeds Outreach Freezer Needs – Several months ago I sent out an e-mail that we had set up a fund especially for a commercial size freezer which we really need for our pantry. We have received a few hundred dollars for the purchase and we thank those that have recently donated just for a freezer.

The best buy we have found for a large, double door commercial freezer that would fit our needs is going to cost a little over $3000. This new and improved freezer would actually be cheaper to run and use than the 3 small very old home freezers that people have donated to us when they no longer wanted them. We are asking for assistance above your usual donation so we might purchase the freezer we need.

About 97% of all donations are spent directly to help the needy clients living in Leeds. We try to be as thrifty as possible. We hope to have a food drive in September at the local grocery stores in order to have the food we need to continue to feed about 40-50 families each month and pay on utility bills and medicine. Will advise of the date soon.

Thanks for all your assistance.
