This was a season of blessings for the Westfield Food Pantry. The Food Pantry would like to say thank you so much for your help in providing much-needed food and other means of giving to us so we could help the families in need in our community.

We were blessed with all the help of food, monetary donations and gift certificates from our community churches: First Baptist, First Presbyterian, First United Methodist, Lakeshore Assembly of God, Lighthouse Christian Fellowship, St. Dominic Roman Catholic, St. Peters Episcopal. Our local companies, organizations and individuals such as: Absolut of Westfield, The Westfield Exempt Volunteer Firemen, United Methodist Women, Reynolds, Lakeshore Bank, Community Bank, Union Relief, The Mission Committee at First Presbyterian Church; also thanks go to the Food Bank of Western New York, Tops in Buffalo, Mighty Taco in East Amherst and Cummins Engine plant operation team, all of whom were a great help along with the individuals who gave so generously.

Thank you from all of the food pantry workers and especially from me.

Betty Syper is coordinator of the Westfield Food Pantry.
