F I N A L C O U N T
I think the phrase I’ve said the most over the past 2 weeks is “God is amazing”.
What started as an idea to take a couple hundred dollars and buy a few items to donate to the food pantry has transformed into THOUSANDS of items being loaded up in the truck to donate to the food pantry: a truly astounding example of the love and generosity of people, and the incredible faithfulness of God. I was admittedly nervous to put myself, my heart, and my little passion project out into the world, but God kept telling me to trust that He would take it and turn it into something big; He turned it into something bigger than I could have imagined! I truly cannot find the words to express how grateful I am for everyone who liked/shared my posts, prayed over this project, and donated! Because of this outpouring, we are able to donate the following items to the food pantry:

I am astounded at the staggering amount of support from everyone who made this possible: those that thought/prayed over this project, those who told friends and family, those who donated items, those who donated money, those who gave their time, those who had such kind and uplifting words to say, those who pushed heavy Walmart buggies and lifted heavy boxes (Ryan 😉). It was my goal to impact the life of at least one person in my community through donations, and the way that so many people came together has made it so that MANY lives will be impacted by this! My life has been changed by being able to witness the love and generosity of so so many people these past 2 weeks. I am forever grateful ♥️
Now, enough of my rambling! We are all packed up and ready to bring our donations to Shepherd’s Market on Sunday!
LET’S GEAUX FILL THE GAP 🤍
