Thank you for your blessings lord, that we may give.
I would love to donate, but only get up there on weekends. And I’m assuming the office is closed on the weekend.
I think this is great! I do have one question though..will this food be benefiting those in OUR community (Molino area)? I know of several families who could use the help. I will definitely be by to donate!
