Loaves & Fishes 

Many people come to us for food as well as  help in others ways. Yes, we can feed the poor and at the same time give people a hand up. Those who come to us are often discouraged, sad, frustrated people who find themselves in life situations, often beyond their control. They sometimes weep in their despair. Along with food, we give them pocket crosses and hugs and prayers.

 There are yellow envelopes in the pews at church.  If each person will donate the amount of one large soda or coffee per week, it could easily amount to $1600 per month for this service so necessary to help those who need to fill the gap between paydays and food stamp issue dates.  Let the kids take part by setting aside one coke cost per week to put in the yellow envelopes.  It is not too early to teach them how to share God's blessings and how it feels to do something good for others.
