Sharing the Spirit

Sharing the generosity of Ascena Retail associates, Jane Stemler presents a $300 check to Karen Hirt Mannon and Martha Rainbolt of the Putnam County Non-food Pantry. After hosting bake sales and other fundraisers at work, the associates were able to contribute two boxes of non-food items such as bleach, shampoo and body wash as well as the money. The Non-food Pantry is supported solely by gifts and donations. "We were very excited to get Jane's call," Hirt, executive director of the pantry, said. "We appreciate any and all donations and theirs was heartfelt and generous." (Courtesy photo)
