This months sponsor spotlight would not be possible without the help of these local stores.Every Thursday Lowes Foods shares with the shelter any breads and desserts they have left over from the previous day. Harris Teeter on Charles Boulevard will call at least once a month when they have dairy products to share. Items such as eggs, milk, ice cream and yogurt. The Fresh Market shares about 60-70 pounds of seasonal coffee with us about every quarter.

They are an example to us all.
