FALLBROOK - In keeping with its goal of donating to worthy local Fallbrook charities, St. John’s Episcopal Thrift Shop recently donated $3,000 to two fine local groups. The Fallbrook Food Pantry and the Foundation for Senior Care were presented with the funds.

"At this time of the year, our local charities see the demand for the goods and services they provide stretched to the max," said Ed Cyran, board member and volunteer of St. John’s Episcopal Thrift Shop.

"The Fallbrook Food Pantry has served our local low income and disadvantaged families since 1991 with food to help nourish their families," said Cyran. Advertisement
