Meadowsweet Ranch to host Family Day at the Ranch

SPRING GROVE, Ill. - May 8, 2015 - PRLog -- The afternoon will benefit the Richmond Spring Grove Community Food Pantry.  The food pantry is currently trying to service 145 local families that are in need.  Seniors and singles that have lost their homes are two groups that are currently growing in the area.  With the kids getting out of school and no longer able to receive free breakfast and lunches, there will be a bigger demand put on the pantry in the upcoming months.   The food pantry is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday by appointment.

Also, the food pantry has out grown their current space and is looking to purchase a building that will meet the current, as well as future needs.  Besides being too small, the current location is not handicap accessible, which can make things difficult for some.

In lieu of a specific amount, Meadowsweet Ranch is asking for donations from the families that attend our Family Day at the Ranch that is within their budget.  Donations of cash, food, gift cards, light bulbs, toilet paper, Kleenex, cleaning supplies, and personal hygiene supplies will be accepted.  If you have any additional questions regarding the food pantry, you can call Char at 815-678-4351.

Meadowsweet Ranch will be offering games/prizes; a grooming station where supervised grooming can be done by those visiting the ranch, a coloring station, riding demonstrations, hand-led pony rides and more.

Come on out and join the fun.  Bring a lawn chair if you’d like to just sit, relax and watch the horses and ponies.  Bring a friend or two to join in the fun as well.

Meadowsweet Ranch is located in Spring Grove off of Wilmot Road at the end of Sundial Lane in Sundial Farms subdivision.
