It’s hard to believe that another year has come and gone—and here we are looking forward to Thanksgiving, and our turkey dinners! For many in our community—a turkey or other ingredients for a nice dinner are totally out of their reach, and out of their budgets.
This community has always been known for it’s generosity—no matter what the needs are. From earthquakes in other parts of the world or floods or tornado damage in our own country, West Michigan is generous. A ministry such as ours relies on the Christian community to help supply the daily needs of those who could be our own family, friends, or neighbors.
Since the economic downturn, job losses and unemployment benefits that have run out, have played a big part in how busy our food pantry has been. We have not seen a decrease in the number of people who visit our pantry in the past several years. Our annual holiday food drive is a constant tool to refresh and restock our dwindling shelves. Every month, we have to purchase items to keep a well rounded supply of food and perishable items. PLEASE help us this year by participating in the THANKSGIVING FOOD drive at your church! We need YOU!
