How does a class throw a party? First of all, everyone picks a place and decides to get together... sounds fun, right? Then increase the fun by doing something for others.... another great idea! The Heritage Sunday School Class from First United Methodist in Maryville did just that. As they gathered this week for some fellowship every person was to bring some non-perishable food to be shared with the CFC!! On Friday 17 bags and 6 cases of food were delivered as a part of this collection. Corn and beans! Lots of corn and beans were found as well as many other items. We say thank you to the Heritage Class and the leaders who had a great idea and followed through!
Now that this week is through nearly 300 families have received food and been helped. This week they were given green veggies, corn, beans, cranberries, pumpkin or yams, tuna, peanut butter, cereal, mac & cheese, stuffing mix, chicken broth and gravy and most received bread. By early next week everyone will once again be receiving bread each time they come! It has been busy and many volunteers, donors and even a few new interested individuals have been touched by the situation. Blessings in all directions have been shared.
Have you ever been hungry, have you ever wondered how you were going to feed your family, pay the bills and still be able to make it through the month? If you have ever walked that road, remember these folks who travel that path today....... remember that you can make a difference in their journey!
