A Ton of Food to Distribute

We received more than a ton of food today. We plan on passing it out in the middle of the month when things start to get tight. I am looking forward to passing out groceries and praying with folks that we serve. Today we received:

  • 350 pounds of salmon
  • 200 pounds of instant potatoes
  • 300 pounds of rice
  • 500 pounds of individual cups of chocolate and vanilla pudding
  • 120 pounds of pasta
  • 600 cans of fruit
  • 450 packages of Raman noodles
  • 420 pounds of peanut butter
  • 48 cans of black beans
  • 24 jars of pickle relish
  • 300 pounds of table salt
  • 42 bottles of juice
  • 24 boxes of cereral
  • 52 loaves of bread
  • 68 bags of corn chips
  • 32 cans of black olives
Tomorrow at 2:00 we will be having a surprise baby shower for one of the women in the apartments she is due at the end of July and has nothing. We have gathered stuff together and we're taking a card table, a table cloth, a cake and some punch setting it all up in the yard in front of her apartment. I think it will be a surprise. People say we're crazy, but I think Jesus would through a party for a single mom that has no support or resources and that is just what we are going to do. Thanks for the prayers. Jeff
