To the editor:

A sincere thank you to the people of Pine Island and the businesses that contributed so generously to the Pine Island Food Pantry Easter Food Drive on Saturday, March 20, at the Winn-Dixie grocery store.

We would be remiss if we didn’t make special note of all those who worked so hard to make our day such a wonderful success.
