BBQ season: 300 Hamburgers, 300 Hot dogs, 300+ Hard Boiled eggs, a ton of donated baked goods from the Angel Network, 496 sandwiches and 320 bottles of water and a big plus was the dessert, frozen S’smores I heard they were great yet we never had any to try ourselves. We also had a special treat for the kids, frozen half moon cakes and they enjoyed not just the cake but the special attention we gave them.

Honestly have to give a Special Thank You to our Volunteers. They did a lot to put this all together. Not an easy job to feed 300+ people a BBQ plus all the Sandwiches, Treats and Water. Also the Special Thank You to our Doners Every week we have someone showing up to give. This week a wonderful family brought pop and containers to give. Dale from the east part of this city came to preach and also had bags of new socks to give. Yes this is truly a community event of giving to those in need. Every act of kindness from small to large is greatly appreciated.

Last week I mentioned we have started collecting clothing for the winter, trying to get a head start. If you have any winter coats, boots, socks, gloves and toques and heavy blankets. We are off to a good start with a family donating heavy furniture moving blanks. We saw Jessie yesterday sleeping and still using the same moving blanket we gave him 2 years ago.

To everyone who contributes, Thank You, Lives are changing, you bring Joy and Hope to our most vulnerable.
