Representatives from Loescher Heating & Air-conditioning of Sterling delivered 1,400 items to SVdP food pantry and SVdP volunteers were there to greet them. The 1,400 items donated, corresponded to 1,400 service calls Loescher received in February. The photos above depict the delivery of the 1,400 items made to the SVdP food pantry on April 14th. Loescher Heating & Air-conditioning has supported various organizations in the community in the past and this year, SVdP Food Pantry was selected as the recipient for their donation. SVdP is grateful for their generosity and the impact it will have on those we serve. THANK YOU LOESCHER HEATING & AIR-CONDITIONING for making a difference in our community.

We can’t always see where the road leads, but GOD promises there’s something better up ahead, we just have to trust him.
