I have recently found myself in the most stressful time of my life. I was seriously hurting at work and have had no income at all. I haven’t even been able to put food on the table for my family with kills me! I called them and they were incredibly compassionate. I went there and not only did they help bring everything out to the car but they gave me so much amazing game food!!!the people there are among the nicest and caring people I have EVER met!!! I was really depressed when I arrived but by the time I was getting ready to leave it was incredibly happy!!! We ended the visit with a big hug from everyone and I will definitely be going back..even if not to get food but to return the favor and volunteer!!! I seriously cannot say enough about the people at Ginny’s!
