KACS: Restocking the shelves

What a way to start a term in office! Two weeks after Lynn Majarian became board president of Kennett Area Community Services, the organization's food cupboard suffered a Sunday morning electrical fire. They had to throw out half their inventory of food and shut down temporarily for a thorough cleaning.
The group put out a call for help to replenish their stocks, and it was widely shared on social media.
When I stopped by the group's headquarters at 136 West Cedar Street, Kennett Square, to drop off my donation, Lynn and other volunteers were standing on the curb accepting donations and loading them into a rented storage pod, which she said was quickly filling up. As a stopgap measure they were handing out Thanksgiving-meals-in-a-box and $25 Giant gift cards to clients until operations returned to normal.
