♥️

'Twas the time before Christmas at the pantry of food

All the workers were stirring to help lift the mood

The supplies were stocked on the shelves with care

In hopes that St. Jeremy made sure they weren't bare

When among our numbers there rose such a clatter

Rena eyed the computer to check out the matter

Away to the report Rena flew like a flash

Tore through the numbers and started to hash

This year alone we served over 2,000 more

From 6,000 to 8,000 - what's next in store?

Now, Carrots! Now, Hygiene! Now, Canned Fruits and Jelly!

Let's give our Neighbors food for their belly

And laying his finger aside of his nose

And giving a nod, Jeremy said how this goes

Spring to your sleigh, to your team give a whistle

Fly us your gifts 'neath the toe of mistle

Then I heard him exclaim when he drove out of sight

"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
