Thank you for everyone that helped donate funds or purchased food items for the holidays as well. I love that our community always steps up to assist our families in the local schools. The families were very blessed.

These are some pictures of our weekly food delivery getting ready to go out to the schools. There are 2 schools that have an actual food pantry in the school that the students can “shop” for free. Those 2 schools also have a fridge and freezer for other items such as lunch meat, hot dogs, frozen breakfast meals, frozen dinners that the students can microwave on their own.

Once again we are in desperate need of backpacks or drawstring bags. Either one is fine as long as they do not have holes in the bags and working zippers.

Today Greene Turtle in the Waugh Chapel Shopping Center sponsored the Bikes 4 Tykes event again. We were able to provide some of our students with a surprise bike for Christmas. This is a wonderful event every year for the kids. We are so blessed to be a part of this amazing program. Thank you to everyone that makes this possible.
