Happy Valentine’s Day to our Veterans! The Gail Baird Foundation came to the new site of All Faiths Food Bank Veterans’ pantry with re-usable bags and goodies to give to all our vets. Today was the first day at Church of the Palms as the pantry had outgrown its previous space.
‘Tis the season at The Gail Baird Foundation and throughout the Sarasota community. It was a wonderful day giving fleece jackets to local Veterans both at the All Faiths Food Bank veteran’s Pantry and at Goodwill Manasota. A special thank you to Tim Schalch with TLS Entertainment for providing holiday music.
Eric Baird and friends of the Gail Baird Foundation volunteered at All Faiths Food Bank to help provide turkey dinners to Veterans. We also purchased the frozen turkeys and sides so that these families could enjoy a wonderful holiday meal. All Faiths Food Bank holds a Veterans appreciation food pantry twice monthly.
