The public is invited 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday at the Fox Parish Center of
St. Francis of Assisi Church, 10 Elm St., to join in on a celebration
and kick-off for the 2012 Amazing Grace Food Pantry challenge according to Ron Krom, executive
director of St. Vincent de Paul Middletown, the agency that oversees the
food pantry on Stack Street. Soups will be made and donations of food and money to stock that pantry are being taken.
The food pantry has seen a dramatic increase in clientele with the recent recession.
