Our Lady’s Pantry Receives Surprise Donation
Drs. Arthur and Susan Bailyn surprised a group of Our Lady’s Pantry volunteers recently on a Saturday morning when they arrived with an unsolicited donation of $2,500 given by the Tomiak Foundation.
Last year, the foundation donated $10,000, which the pantry used toward operating expenses, including the repair of one of its refrigerated trucks. The Tomiak Foundation was started by two sisters to provide humanitarian relief where possible. The foundation is especially interested in supporting the well-being of seniors.
