![The Idyllwild HELP Center re-stocked its food pantry last week. The pantry was almost bare at the time. “We went shopping for our food pantry with money donated from the Idyllwild [Association] of Realtors, 3rd District Supervisor Chuck Washington, Idyllwild HELP Center Board of Directors, and St. Margaret’s Bob Kimble, Ron Green and Chet Hecht. We spent a little over $2,700 to fill our pantry,” wrote Colleen Meyer, executive director of the Idyllwild HELP Center. Assisting in the actual shopping were (from left) Emily Pearson, Skye Zambrana, Wal-Mart Associate Veronica, Meyer, Emily Hill and Peyton Manchee.
