Over the past 35 years over 200,000 bags of corn have been provided to mission groups and faith-based organizations around the world. Several changes have occurred well outside of our control that have caused us to reevaluate our approach. As a result, beginning in 2021 BHRP will no

longer bag and ship whole kernel corn. However, there is no intent to cease providing help feeding hungry people. The mission remains constant, the method is being revised. Moving forward our focus will be to leverage the network of organizations involved in feeding people through direct financial support of established food distribution organizations. Over the years you have entrusted the management of BHRP to choose reliable, well-established ministries for the recipients of corn. For this we are thankful and honored to have held your trust. Moving forward, the analysis and investigations will continue to be applied to the organizations selected. Our prayer is that using these funds they can acquire food without the expense of transporting heavy corn. Direct funding to these organizations will provide them greater flexibility to purchase food locally or use lighter weight food products. Over the years we have collected information and worked with many different organizations with major feeding and food distribution programs in several foreign countries and in the United States. Moving forward we will distribute the funds available to us directly to a selection taken from this list. In addition, we will continue investigation to identify specific project needs related to food distribution. The plan is for the board to quarterly review the funds available and the known mission groups to determine distributions.

Harvest season of 2025 is here. It hard to imagine that first harvest of corn for the "corn project" was 40 years ago. We praise God that this small project that Hollace and Ila Sherwood started is continuing still today. Yes, how we are feeding people has changed over the years. But the idea that hungry people can learn of God's love by first being fed is still important. In the last month we gave 500 one pound packages of pork to local food pantries and feeding programs.

From the beginning when Ila first read that article about how hungry children could be feed, the project has been centered around feeding children. As we celebrate 40 years, it seemed a good way to celebrate would be to put together a video covering highlights of 40 years. So with a little help from Dr. Seuss, enjoy this video about BHRP from a child view point.

We hope to will continue to provide food to hungry people in the years to come. We will be buying more pork and beef to help feed here in Lawrence/Orange County. As God leads us, we will provide funds to mission partners especially those groups that support sustainable farming to feed children. We give thanks to our supports who have faithful helped us over the years. If you would like to give a special offering in celebration of 40 years see our web page https://www.bhrp.org/ for contact information.
