Food for our neighbors

The folks at Redeemer have really responded to the idea of filling bags with the specific foods that the food pantry has asked for. Someone gave me the idea, and since I am not shy, I made an announcement one Sunday, called the food pantry to find out what they needed most, got the bags donated by a local grocery store, and then labeled the bags with foods like macaroni and cheese, cereal and canned fruit. Every Sunday, the back of the church is filled with bags of food. Our World Hunger Kick Off event is a big success, helping people in our own community who need help feeding their families.
