Thank You!
We have a generous family here at Royal Palm and throughout the community. For years they have supported the Food Pantry through donations of food and goods, by volunteering their time, and financial contributions. We are also grateful for the ongoing support of our local Panera and Publix. Since the articles about our food pantry appeared, first in the Forum and later in the Sun-Sentinel, we have discovered that we are also surrounded by generous people throughout the community.
The outpouring of love and support has been amazing. We are thankful for the flame of passion that has sparked in many hearts, and we praise God for the ways He blesses us.
