A HUGE thank you to all the teachers at John Weldon who celebrated the 100th day of school by having kids bring in canned goods for Bear Necessities!!! It's always so fun to see how proud the kids are of their accomplishment.
All of those cans are now on the shelf and we were able to determine what we need for this week:
23 tuna
20 easy mac envelopes
10 cans corn
Remember, even if you can only get a few cans of something, every little bit helps! God uses us all together to get His work done in this community!
Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives. Titus 3:14

Inspiration and this week's needs
With the craziness of having a new baby around here I just got downstairs to see what was in a bag of food that was dropped of a few days ago. The note included absolutely MADE MY DAY:
When God put the idea of Bear Necessities on my heart years ago, it was within the context of parents discipling their children to serve the Lord. To learn of a family studying the book of James together and living it out is a reminder of God's heart for the family and renews my strength to direct my own crew to a life of service to Christ. Thank you so much to this family for the inspiration they are!
James 1:22- Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
Just a quick note of what's needed for this week:
17 cans chili
20 beefaroni
20 easy mac envelopes
12 peas
21 applesauce
32 individual size bags of cheez its

Thanks and what we need for this week
The last several weeks have been a whirlwind! Chris and I spent 16 days away and brought home the most beautiful little one year old boy from China. His name is Lucas Michael and we absolutely love him! There were so many people who kept Bear Necessities going in our absence and we are so thankful for each of them!
Thank you to the generous donor (and his shopper) who provided all the food for six weeks so that didn't have to be done during that time.
Thank you to the volunteers who came and packed and delivered bags each week!
Thank you to my in-laws for being at our home so that volunteers could easily access the food pantry!
Thank you to the team of 7th grade girls who helped with food set up each week!
Thank you to our amazing daughter who has taken on the role of food set up and managed the volunteers each week!
This coming week is the first week that we don't have everything we need and Madeline and her team got a count yesterday for us. We need:
12 cans of soup
20 cans of ravioli
32 sleeves of ritz crackers
If you are able to drop off a few or several items, it is always appreciated! Getting good nutritious food to our kiddos is one of the most important things we can do as a community to give them the best possible chance at success!
