Food Pantry Run and the goodness of God

This past week was interesting. Early in the week there was a front page article in the paper with big bold print that said Out of Stock Salvation Army Food Pantry shuts down. Apparently, it was on the radio and TV. From my understanding, the Salvation Army has a yearly budget to buy food from Food Finders in Lafayette. Their budget year starts on October 1, meaning Sept is the last month of their year. When the food ran out last week they closed until October 1 when a new load would be delivered. However, people that depend on the food pantries, panicked on Wednesday there was a run on all the pantries in town. At the end of the day Wednesday most were without food. Our shelves contained 60 jars of peanut butter, 12 cans of soup and 24 cans of green beans. We could not open with that on Monday. However, God is good and God is big and by Friday Night we were completely restocked with our shelves filled to overflowing. Thanks be to God. Thanks for the prayers we really appreciate it. Jeff
