BACN is just as important to me

 

A volunteer was mentioning all the things
she had going on for the day.....

A new great-grandbaby was being born, she had a funeral to go to, she had to get to an afternoon appointment and work her shift at BACN in the Food Pantry.  Her Supervisor said; "Gosh with all that going on, I'm really glad you could still come in today."
The volunteer replied;
"My responsibility to BACN is just as important to me."

 

 


We welcome your donations to support our programs and services and offer several ways for donors to contribute.

A Belt for my Wife

A gentleman came in and asked if we could help him pick out a belt for his wife who wore a certain size pants.  We showed him our belt selection and pulled off a few that we thought might work for him.  We were asking questions, such as, "What about this color or width?"
