Joe LeBlanc Food Pantry served almost 9,000 meals to hungry children during its Summer Feeding 2024 program.

“One thing is for sure, the blessings we received this summer are greater than all of these numbers combined,” JLFP Executive Director Jessica Lewis shared in a Facebook post. “Early on this year, God saw to it that the funding was there through a private donor, and we were not to worry about fundraising which was a huge relief. I guess He knew what was to come because we nearly doubled the number of meals served last summer.”

Average meal cost was $2.02 which Lewis said is “Mrs. Katie magic.”

There was never a lack of provision or volunteers.

“Thank you to every person that put their hands to work this summer,” she continued. “To the parents of all of our kiddos, thank you for allowing us to serve your babies! We will see y’all next summer!”
