Several Glendora
Village business owners who are members of The ARDENT Group will be hosting
“The Gathering” on Oct. 2 as the first annual fundraising event benefiting
Shepherd’s Pantry, a non-profit corporation.
Community enthusiasts
will gather at Glendora Gardens to enjoy live entertainment, refreshments, and prize drawings while socializing and
perusing booths and giveaways from all of the ARDENT businesses.
An evening
highlight will be when a Shepherd’s Pantry representative will be speaking
about the work they do in the community. The event is free but raffle tickets
will be sold throughout the event for prizes each valued at $100.
Food donations
for Shepherd’s Pantry that are brought to the event will be greatly appreciated.

Pantry provides emergency food, clothing, resource assistance and educational
programs to families in need during times of crisis. They also provide the
necessary tools and resources to help families become self-sufficient.
