100,000 LBS. A MILESTONE!

This past Saturday, July 13, we passed a milestone in that our food collections at Holden Beach NC now total over 100,000 lbs. since we began this ministry 8 years ago. This is a huge tribute to the thousands of vacationers and locals who have chosen to contribute food (and money) to the needy of Brunswick County, rather than have it end up in a landfill. Many thanks to each of you for your compassion and generosity.

OFF AND RUNNING in 2013......

With a good feeling from the approximately 3,000 lbs. of food collected since June 15, we've just completed the first 3 weeks of this summer's ministry, our 9th year, At this rate, in mid-July we'll pass 100,000 lbs. since our ministry began in July of 2005.

I wish everyone could have the same experience that we have each Saturday.....compassionate contributors who are pleased to have a place to leave food which would otherwise be wasted, and grateful receipients who might otherwise go hungry. It's such a simple ministry of providing that link between these two factions. Hope you'll stay tuned for future reports.....
