Food Drive Update

I apologize for not updating everyone on the wonderful success the JW Student Council had at the food drive on Saturday but I awoke Sunday with a terrible sinus something and did not feel at all myself until yesterday.

I was able to stop by Shop 'n Save during the day and get a photo of some of the wonderful kids who were helping.

The first delivery came by 10 a.m. and more were made later throughout the day.

This set of photos was taken after the second to last delivery.  There was a final, equally large, delivery after this was taken but I was in the basement unpacking and organizing. 

After several deliveries, Ms. Strebeck and Mrs. Marino stayed and helped us organize all of the food.  There is more than we have room for!  Yet, in perfect God fashion, there are a few items we didn't receive a ton of and so we will still post when we need those items.  Since God created us to serve one another, there is still an opportunity to serve Him through Bear Necessities every week.  We will continue to need 42 apples every week and if we wind up with 84, the kids will all get two!  Nothing wrong with that!

As we were unpacking, Mrs. Marino found a sweet note that had been placed into one of the bags:

 

I always love the reminder that we don't do this out of some desire to be good but because there are real people who are hungry and God gives us enough that we can share with them.  It is not His will for any to be hungry.  He has provided more than enough for everyone.  It is we who hoard it... 

well, not in this community!   

Thank you so much to every parent, teacher and student who helped with this!  We are so grateful for you!
