More Than a FEW!

Last Wednesday, there was a crowd. More than 160 families received food. Our stockers, baggers and greeters had a difficult time keeping up. In 4 short hours the CFC staff had served more than on any other day since our beginning. We knew things were tough and we knew that this season would bring new families in need.

HOWEVER.... we had no idea what was to come. Yesterday, Monday November 24th 217 families were served. That number represents almost one family during every minute the CFC was open. Our volunteers struggled to keep up. A mid-day stocking was required. 4 volunteers were working the store side and others were working on the "warehouse side" sorting and shelving food from the recent Blount Memorial Hospital Employee's Food Drive.

With only 6 possible parking spaces it is hard to imagine how this many cars, families and people were served without a mishap. Only by the grace of God and many loving volunteers who love to share their faith and their service through helping others allows the CFC to stay open.

We live in a great community that pulls together and lends a helping hand. The board of the CFC is undergoing changes and we need more help. Every team needs more help. Please pray for wisdom and for the hearts of loving servants to be called into action!

Enjoy a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving! We all have much to be thankful for!
