St. Stephen students donate to Fallbrook Food Pantry

FALLBROOK — Kindergarten students from St. Stephen Lutheran School recently delivered a donation to the Fallbrook Food Pantry.

The students gathered more than 100 cans of food in a food drive they held after the first 100 days of school this year.

Volunteers at the Food Pantry gratefully accepted the children’s donation and encourage other members of the community to donate as possible.

“The shelves at the Food Pantry are quite bare right now,” said Frank and Sue Russell. “The pantry has seen a 10-percent rise in the number of families requiring food since the New Year. Any help the community can provide will be appreciated.”
