    Loveland, Ohio – Terri Carter took time out of a very busy day while at the Avon-Miami Masonic Lodge next to Home of the Brave Park last Monday morning to tell me how the LIFE Food Pantry turned the entire space into their annual Christmas Giving Shop. Terri is the President of the Loveland Interfaith Effort, more commonly known as the Loveland LIFE Food Pantry.

    LIFE is a faith and community-supported organization that provides food, financial assistance, and programs to those experiencing hardship. At the Giving Shop, one member of a household may shop for gifts for the entire family; underwear, socks, two articles of clothing, and an appropriate gift for each family member 18 and under. At the shop are toys for kids, teen gifts, gift cards, pajamas, and household family gifts such as a toaster, crockpot, coffeepot, bed linens, cookware, etc.

    Please, Loveland community, lend an ear as Terri tells you about how this monumental endeavor took a village to be the most successful in her memory.

    All of the staff and board members, Lodge members, and those who so generously put it all together should be smiling and patting themselves on the back right now and all through the holiday season. Thank you to all who so lavishly donated the marvelous Christmas presents for our Loveland children and their families!

    Here is how Loveland Intermediate and Middle Schools gave thanks

    Loveland, Ohio – On a very frosty last Thursday morning, the students and teachers from the Loveland Intermediate and Middle School campus hit the street and carried food from their school to the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church at the corner of Lebanon Road and West Loveland Avenue. They delivered the food they had collected to the Loveland LIFE Food Pantry which will distribute it to those less fortunate in the Greater Loveland Area.

    As Nancy Grant explains in the LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV segment it was the start of the second decade of the “Pass it on Food Drive”, the 21st year! The goal this year was to help the food pantry put together 250 Thanksgiving Day and 250 Holiday meal boxes.

    In the video, you can see most of the Tigers as they hustle their way up the street and into the church where they help sort their donations. Grant and Penny Dippold will tell you how the programs started and the enduring value to the Loveland community.
