Children Bring Smiles!

The last two weeks have been a blur! With Christmas and New Years Day now behind us... at least on the calendar.... there are two stories that need to be told! One young lady, age 9, had a birthday party. Did she ask for gifts? Not Noelle..... Noelle chose instead to ask her guests to bring food for the Community Food Connection. They did! Noelle and her family delivered their food to the CFC just before Christmas...... there were quite a few bags of food and what great food it was! There was meat, peanut butter, mac/cheese and lots of veggies. What a great idea! What a wonderful young lady to think of others instead of herself. She is a beautiful young lady - inside and out! Thank you Noelle! What a blessing to know you and to share in your generous offering!

The day following Christmas was another great day..... Logan's Chapel United Methodist Church brings food to the CFC almost every week. Mr. Lynn is dedicated and always brings in the food with a smile and a helping hand! On the day following Christmas Mr Lynn showed up with more food than usual - more than 300 pounds. Most of the food came in decorated paper bags. Each bag lovingly decorated by a child. They were so cute and a few were still in good enough shape to be passed along to our clients. A great lesson of sharing and caring has been shared with these young children. Thanks Logan's Chapel for setting such a great example for these young people.
