Never doubt a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

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.

Distribution took place July 1 to over 50 households served by the pantry. The efforts of over a dozen volunteers representing the local churches who run the Ada Food Pantry made the event possible.

The Ada Food Pantry serves eligible households in Ada, Liberty Township and Washington Township.
