Nonprofit Briefs Saints' Pantry receives award for backpack Workshops detail mission of Love INC program The Shelton School Dis- trict on Feb. 12 presented Saints' Pantry with the Community Partners for Kids Outstanding Award for supplying homeless and hungry children with food as part of its backpack program. The Shelten-based nonprofit organization was nominated for the award by Bordeaux El- ementary Principal Carey Murray. Each Friday, volun- teers for Saints' Pantry assemble 150 packs of food that are distributed to students in need to help them, and sometimes members of their families, get through the weekend. These students receive free lunches during the week. Steve Russell, director of Saints' Pantry, said he shares the honor with the people and organizations who donate to the back- pack program. The con- tents of each backpack cost about $5.50 each, or about $3,300 each month.

This worked out well for about a year, and then some of the adults de- veloped health problems restricting them from participating. Weza kept the ministry going by her- self, and one night when she was facing the meal preparation alone, she set up five stations hoping for five helpers to show. Volunteers did start showing up and after all the stations were filled, the five strangers worked side-by-side to prepare a huge meal for others. Kamin then talked INC, which first appeared in 2009. The Ministry has grown from seven to 20 churches, aids more than 1,200 people, re-donates $21,000 in materials and had almost 2,600 volun- teers hours in 2012. Churches of all de- nominations partner with Love INC to combine re- sources in providing help for county residents. The Mason County office operates a clear- inghouse where requests are verified and then matched with the appro- priate church ministry, community organization or volunteer mentor for help. Current Gap Min- istries provide many material goods for recipi- ents: food for the Food Bank, children's clothing through Northwest Chil- kets of Love, furniture, bedding, firewood, medi- cal equipment, backpacks with hygiene supplies for released offenders and homeless youth and hats for oncology patients. Love INC of Mason Coun- ty's next goal is to of- fer additional relational ministries such as budget mentoring, stress man- agement, programs for strengthening families and job readiness classes. Love INC took 427 case files in 2012 helping 623 adults and 533 chil- dren through the help of almost 2 600 volunteer hours. To contact Love INC, call center hours are 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, at 462-LOVE ext. 5683 or email at loveinc@hcc.net. Page A-14 - Mason County Journal - Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013
