The spirit of sharing flexed its muscle this week in Ada.

Thanks to the efforts of the Ada Food Pantry the traditional Fourth of July picnic enjoyed by many of us will be celebrated by all of us.

For the fourth year the pantry board provided its clients with a “basket” of food associated with a summer picnic.

What’s in the basket? You know: hamburgers or hotdogs, buns, potato salad, corn on the cob and watermelon.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are the holidays typically associated with charitable food distributions, but in 2011 Beth Gray had a different idea.

Beth, a member of the Ada Food Pantry Board, suggested a food distribution associated with the 4th of July. Starting that year the Pantry has during the first week of July distributed to its clients a “basket” of food associated with a summer picnic.

Included were hamburgers or hotdogs, buns, potato salad, corn on the cob and watermelon.
