Feeding the Poor
Posted in The Historical Faith and tagged with Church, Poor on October 1, 2009
Today’s the day of our work move…I’m excited! Tomorrow morning I’ll get to wake up to a short commute!
I never ask my readers for anything (well, but to think!), but today I’m going to make an exception.
My ABF (Adult Bible Fellowship) class is starting a fundraiser for the Food Bank of Central and Eastern Carolina, where we volunteer. We’ve put together a virtual food drive to help in our efforts. I’d love to invite you to consider donating to the Food Bank through our drive, or if you’d rather, donate to a food bank in your area or to the nationwide network of foodbanks, Feeding America.
When we visited the Food Bank for the first time a few months ago, I was amazed at how much food they had. And then we were told that most of that food would be gone within the week…that’s how much food they deliver out to the local food bank centers throughout most of North Carolina. Feeding the poor and downtrodden…people that Jesus loves and wants His people to care for. I’m glad to be a small part of that.

Hey! What an awesome idea! Our care group has not done any projects yet, but I’ve seen some really good ones going on!

Happy moving day! We donate to a local food bank, but I do think it’s a great project to discuss on your blog.
I left you an award at my blog by the way. Don’t feel any obligation, though.

I hope that your move goes well!! I will look into your food bank fundraiser, too! I’m sure they have one around here.
