What a wonderful day it was on Saturday as we officially opened the doors of the Bread of Life Food Pantry to the hungry and needy in our communities. Turnout was light, but not totally unexpected. We served 22 households representing 57 people. We expect the response will grow rapidly over time.
We want to thank everyone again for your food donations, volunteers and financial support which makes all of this possible. Please convey to your congregations how much their support means, and that God has blessed us and is working through all of us to provide this wonderful ministry of compassion and caring in our communities. Well done, my good and faithful servants. Keep it up! We used about 1/3 of our food stock and will need to replenish it for SEP 19. A report regarding expenses will be sent at the end of August, but we actually did very well as food donations over the past few months waiting for our opening sustained most of the opening demand.
Volunteers, you were simply amazing! Mt. Sinai showed up in force on Thursday night to “shelve” the dry goods for Saturday’s opening, and we had more volunteers than we could use on Saturday with some 5 churches represented. It was a good problem to have and gave everyone an opportunity to experience the pantry operation. We will try to schedule volunteers on future operation days, so everyone can share in the blessing.
Again, thank you so much for your wonderful support. It is a blessing to serve with you.
God Bless,
The Entire Epworth Bread of Life Food Pantry Operations Team
