A Bluffton Community Assistance (CAP) food pantry volunteer assisted a client whose young child was having a birthday.
The client couldn’t afford a birthday cake. When the mother came to the food pantry and discovered boxed cakes supplies and frosting, there were tears in her eyes.
Bluffton middle school and high school students, who brought donations from Christmas food drives, learned about this story.
As Ed Yeager, CAP board president, shares: “Following that, ‘whooom’ - bunches of baking supplies and cake mixes came pouring in.”
