Comments from those we serve:
"Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have to come to a food pantry, but here I am and this place means food for my family!"
"I could write a book on how grateful I am for the Bliss House...my family actually loves having me around and I'm even trusted now. "
"I was told about the pantry when I was unemployed. We have three children and didn't know what to do. Thank you for being there in our time of need. I started a new job and would like to give back to help another family."
"All my papers were destroyed in the storm and somebody told me you would help. You did - thank you."
"I graduated Bliss House in April 2011. I have learned a new way of living and it's to live sober, happy, and productive..."
"You gave us our daughter back - the Bliss House saved her life...thank you just doesn't seem to be enough."
