Donates $850 worth of food to Help others

have a Christmas Meal

Within 24 hours, 121 Bootleggers Crew was able to raise $850 among members to donate food to three different causes!

Pastor's Pantry, a nonprofit food bank located in Lexington, NC., was founded in 1974 as a volunteer crisis intervention organization. In 2000, Davidson County was in dire need of nutrition services for seniors. To better serve the community, they transitioned into a food pantry. When Beverly Fulbright, an ordained minister, became the new organization's executive director, it wasn't long before the food bank took on the name, Pastor's Pantry. However, religion plays no part in the criteria for accepting or serving clients.

Each month, individuals ages 60 and over can receive bags of food at no cost, and during emergencies, food is provided to all ages. Pastor's Pantry distributes around 5,000 bags of groceries each month, in addition to emergency situations. This is possible through a variety of donations from individuals, groups, and businesses to Pastor's Pantry.

​

Along with the food pantry, 121 Bootleggers crew assisted two families who were also in need of a little help this holiday season.

Brittany Bailey and Tanner Bailey said they were honored to have taken on the task of collecting the goods and making the delivery.

For readers who've never heard of the Modern Day Pirates, these are not pirates to fear. Men and women of today carry on the love of adventure but are otherwise opposite of their stereotypical predecessors. In addition to the camaraderie of adventurists, Modern Day Pirates originated on a foundation of giving. Today, Modern Day Pirates support and help others, whenever the need arises.

​

There are crews all over the United States and around the world. Each, welcoming other MDP members as family and not only ready for the next adventure but also for the chance to help anyone in need.

"It's a proud day to be a Pirate with you all! Happy Holidays to everyone and their families," Tanner expressed.
