November 2010 we set up
our new walk-in cooler and a much needed
satellite storage facility with an entrance
just off Stewart street for easier delivery
of large donations. Call ahead to arrange
to be met there if you have a delivery.

In October we added a few more standard
items to our shelves: mayonaise, pancake
mix
& syrup or cake mix & frosting.
In June of 2010 we were able to change the
maximum number of visits within a 12 month
period from 3 to 4 and include mayonaise,
pancake mix & syrup or cake mix &
frosting in our list of items distributed
to our clients.
Beginning June of 2010 we raised our limit
from 3 to 4 visits per year.
The 2010 Postal Letter Carriers drive Mothers'
Day weekend was the biggest ever.
L&FUC received
$1,280.00 worth of food from the Matthews
Post Office.
$2,176.00 worth of food from the Monroe
Post Office and
$21,862.00 worth of food from the Waxhaw

Activities like these,
along with the donations from all the valued
local businesses, civic groups, churches
and individuals that participate in our
ongoing support have allowed our local volunteer
organization to continue to help meet the
need to feed those in need in our community
