October 22. 2020
Working towards the holiday outreaches is our goal at this time. Food for Thanksgiving...presents for Christmas while continuing our food pantry service Tuesday-Friday for 150-250 families. The numbers do fluctuate that much so we are always prepared for those who come.
It's interesting to look back at my photos from March and see myself wearing a long winter coat as we served. Spring, summer and now fall...Some people wondered how long this time of pandemic would last. Some said, "Maybe we'll be doing this for a few weeks." Others said, "Maybe through the summer..."
Peggy Boyd from Family Service League and I were talking and we said, "Let's plan through the fall at least. This thing is probably going to stick around for a while."
That's been the most accurate...
So we're working away and we're busy preparing for the coming events. The holidays are really right around the corner. We've been making some updates to our building to make sure that we can serve our families as the colder winter months come our way. We won't be able to do distributions in the parking lot through the winter months so we're making it as safe as possible for families to access our facility in a safe and limited capacity and to receive the help that they need with much love, understanding and kindness as is always our desire.
Plans are already underway for our 56th Annual Thanksgiving Food & Turkey distribution. Our goal is to provide a food box filled with everything to prepare a Thanksgiving Day meal and special breakfast for 800 local families We will be posting our food and volunteer needs to help make it happen in the very near future. Our Thanksgiving campaign this year is going to take special preparation and a lot of time to ensure that we have what we need to meet the needs of many families that are struggling and may not have enough to provide the special holiday meal that we all love to eat and share with our loved ones.
We're going forward with strategy, caution, hope and joy. We are praying, thinking, planning and doing.
We are always moving forward and evolving as the days go by. It's good and we are happy to serve through these challenging days.
We have served over 8600 food parcels since March! That is a lot of food. Close to 300 tons. We keep packing each week as we collect and purchase food to fill the bags. We thank God every day for providing and we continuing filling the bags and serving. So many have helped us to fill those bags each week. We are grateful.
We're currently receiving boxes of perishables to add to our bags of non-perishables and bread giving the family a great selection and some added fresh nutrition thanks to the USDA grant through Project HOPE and Greentop.
This should go through October. Then it will be time for Thanksgiving!
We are grateful to EVERYONE who has helped in so many ways. You have been A BLESSING. You have PRAYED FOR US. You have CALLED US. You have ENCOURAGED US. You have GIVEN and WE APPRECIATE this more than we can say.
We do need CONTINUED SUPPORT to CONTINUE to help our community and we are THANKFUL to be able to work and meet the needs here locally.
