Whew! What a weekend! Larry Ladd and his trusty volunteers spent an entire weekend speaking with customers, hauling food and handing out information about the Community Food Connection at the Food City in West Maryville. More than 40 volunteers worked over that 24 - 30 hour period at the grocery store. Many others hauled food back to the CFC and others began the sorting. Payoff you might ask? Almost 20,000 pounds of food was collected! WOW! What a tremendous blessing!! Money was also collected.
This is backbreaking work. It takes time. It was beautiful weather, but chilly. Still, the citizens of Blount County came together to help those in need.
Thanks to all those who gave. Thanks to all those who served. Thanks be to the One who blesses us when we aren't expecting an overflowing cupboard. Thanksgiving came early this year....... Amen.
