Hello Susan,

I enjoyed our brief conversation via telephone this afternoon. I love the music on your website, it's very relaxing and soothing to ones nerves in a world that seems to be unravaling fast at the seams.

I simply want to express my deep heartfelt appreciation for your caring organization. Many times in life we receive amazing gifts of kindness and forget to simply say "thank you", therefor, I want to take this time to say how very appreciative I am of this wonderful gift of food. I have been a receipient of your generous food boxes for about six months now and without it I would be hard pressed to make it to the end of the month. The high quality of the content of this food box that you provide is outstanding. Your distribution chanel of using the Vista Senior Center is perfect. The staff there is warm and friendly.

I feel very blessed to have learned that this wonderful and selfless gift is available to those of us Seniors who find ourselves in need within the Vista Community.

There really are good "Angels" in Vista looking over those in need and for this I once again want to say a hearty "THANK YOU".

May the Creator of our Universe give you the courage and means to continue in your most generous endeavor.

Warm Regards,
Annette
