Dear Editor,
The ‘dog days of summer? have hit the Lighthouse Clarkston food pantry and finds our shelves lean and sparse.
The CAYA Mentors Plus students and adult volunteers helped alleviate some of the sparseness recently by collecting an estimated 500 pounds of donated food from many generous Clarkston residents.
I send a sincere thank you to Mentors Plus and our donors for the continued support you give Lighthouse throughout the year.
Without your help, the low-income families and individuals in north Oakland County would have to go without a most basic need ? food ? which is inexcusable in this day.
If you were unable to help or did not know about the food drive, Lighthouse is always in need of non-perishable food items; we only ask that the packaging be intact with no dented, damaged, or outdated food.
Our donation hours are Monday through Friday 10 am to 3:30 pm. If you need to come before or after hours, contact our office at 248-620-116 so that we may better accommodate your schedule.
Connie Stapleton
Lighthouse Clarkston
