  1. So sorry to read the information about Antoine and the theft. How can we really know who to trust and believe in today? As a volunteer at the C’twn food pantry, I would feel guilty if I just stole a delicious looking muffin or loaf of bread that had been donated. It is a wonderful place and provides such a needed service. Shame on you Antoine and now I’m sure all kinds of things related to security, interviewing volunteers, hiring, etc. will be considered.
