Thank you

TYLER VONDRISKA, Ojai

Thank you for publishing an article about my fruit pantry project. This project has been meaningful to me – it has kept me busy and it feels good to make a difference. The amount of need in our community has been tough to see, though. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped me in so many ways – offering their fruit, connecting me with people who have fruit to share, telling me who needs a delivery, and generally encouraging me. It is because of them that I’ve been able so far to deliver to 56 porches, and made 21 drop-offs at local pantries like Help of Ojai, the Ojai Family Shelter, the Food Share Pantry, and various neighborhood pantries.
