What the Food Pantry does is awesome. I am 66 years old and retired. I am unable to work due to health issues. They should distribute food more fairly. I got one of the 2 bags left today in Rich square, NC. Instead of giving me both bags since I was last in line the worker saud give it to the car in front of her. They had already received 4 bags already. Just be fair. Dont judge me on my race. They dont know my story or my needs. Thanks again for what you do; just be fair.
