Piggly Wiggly in Leland

The group that owns and runs the Piggly Wiggly in Leland had a business meeting
recently. Richard Boccard took that opportunity to present them with a Family of the
Month Certificate for their generous and gracious assistance in allowing us to collect
food at their store. They appreciated the gesture. The store manager is Bryan Saunders.

Brother Greg and Rose Armstrong

Brother Greg and Rose Armstrong have been active member of our Council for the past
several years, before moving to Wingate, NC in order to be closer to family. While here
he held several key positions, Family Director and Social Picnic Coordinator. They
always went above and beyond in order to have a well-decorated pavilion, plenty of
food and door prizes as well as games for the families. They made sure all felt
welcomed. Greg also participated in many food drives, Basketball Free Throw
Competitions, and our Blood Connection blood drives at the Basilica. Best of luck to
the Armstrong Family as the journey on to their new life with their grandchildren.

Tom & Dianne Russell

The Russell's have long been a huge help to The HELP Center at Federal Point.
They collect and deliver all the food that gets dropped off before mass on Sunday. Dianne has been doing the scheduling for all the staff; she does this at home on her own time. Together Tom and Dianne make a great team, keeping The HELP Center, stocked with food and staffed with volunteer help!
