SOMETHING ABOUT MARY -- Friday marked the final day at the pantry for two of our best volunteers, Mary and John Cantwell, who are moving to San Diego. These are the kind of people, working behind the scenes and without pay, that make it possible for us to fulfill our mission. Mary has volunteered at the pantry since 2011 and has been, in effect, our general manager since 2019. She has planned the weekly menus, ordered and shopped for food, and supervised floor operations on days the pantry is open. John has also been an extrremely valuable volunteer and our best repairman, making numerous improvements to our facility in Inglewood. They leave huge shoes to fill but we wish them well.

HAPPY PETS, HAPPY OWNERS! We are so happy that the Michelson Found Animals Foundation has renewed its grant to Food Pantry LAX for another year. The foundation provides us with dog and cat food every two weeks. In the past, we rarely had pet food to offer our customers. Now we can offer it all the time. Customers (and their pets) have come to depend on it and really appreciate it. Thank you Michelson Found Animals Foundation.

REPEAT DEFENDERS! For her birthday, Erin Leatherman asked her friends for money, which she used to buy supplies for the pantry. What a wonderful gesture and meaningful way to celebrate one's birthday! Mychal's Learning Place, which helps people with development disabilities, took time from its own noble work to donate food. That's Kim and Ari from the center's staff.
What is even more remarkable is that both Erin and Mychal's contributed food to us in December, when most people give. It's rare, but wonderful, for donors to return in the "off-season," when our shelves tend to be barer. Thank you all!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! -- Food Pantry LAX distributed its special Christmas bags this week. The bags are larger than the ones we normally give out and contain some items for a holiday meal -- such as a canned ham and cake mix. Some of our customers, as well as our volunteers, dressed for the occasion. Thank you to everyone who contributed the bags in our annual Bag-it-Up campaign.

"OH NO, WHAT DID WE DO WRONG?" I thought as two squad cars pulled into our parking lot. But it was the Los Angeles Airport Police bringing us food from their wonderful food drive (only a small portion of the donation is shown in the photo). Thank you so much to all the officers who responded.

TOWING GOOD CHEER -- We are always happy to see trucks from Oceanside Trucks (formerly Oceanside Automotive) enter our parking lot. This one was carrying 36 bags for our Christmas Bag-it-Up food drive. Thank you to Chloe and everyone at Oceanside for your continuing generosity.

MYCHAL'S -- Thanks to everyone at Mychal's Learning Place, which provides support, training and opportunities to youth and young adults with developmental disabilities. While doing their own noble charitable work, this organization still found time to help the pantry and its clients. Pictured are Kim and Ari of the center's staff.

PUTTING THEIR BEST FOOT FORWARD -- Our pantry was lucky to be chosen this year to be the recipient of a gigantic food drive by the employees at Skechers, the famous shoe company headquartered in Manhattan Beach. We could hardly lift some of those big boxes out of the truck. Thank you to Dawn Belabin, of the human resources department, and everyone else there for your generosity.
