truth B told

My church volunteers once a month to help pre-sort food at the local food pantry. It's a non-profit, government funded food distribution center in our community. Although the government provides some funds for the program, the center is largely dependant upon volunteers. Several churches volunteer time, money and people power to accomplish a major task--help feed the needy in our town.

I'm very proud of our churches for bringing in troops to help with the cause. Some people stereotype evangelicals as people who are not concerned for the needy. I beg to differ. Although we may not stand on a soap box shouting the cause, we do quietly stand in the trenches and do our job. Sure, more people are needed and many do nothing. But last night I watched 16 people work hard to make sure people get food this week. From elementary students to retired seniors, people gave up an evening to work at the food center.

Sixteen evangelical volunteers in a town of 20,000 may not be conquering the global hunger problem, but we are doing our part. And for that...I say job well done. Obviously not finished, but for last night...well done.

Sorry I didn't post the last couple of days. My laptop is having severe problems. Thank goodness for techy friends who are willing to reach out a helping hand. Thanks A!
