This week Amazing Grace Food Pantry had the privilege to serve nutritional groceries to 126 families in Collin County – that’s over 530 people that won’t go hungry this week. Each family received over 90 pounds of grocery staples including fresh fruit, veggies, cheese and lots of meat for meals for the week.
We lift up those having to relocate from south Texas due to Hurricane Harvey. For those in Collin County and in need of emergency assistance, we’re here to help put food on the table during this disaster.
New Building Update: The sheetrock is going up! Hope to complete sheetrock by mid September. Anyone willing to put in a couple hours over Labor Day weekend to sheetrock or tape and bed is welcomed to help!
I wanted to tell you how impressed and inspired by everyone there. The work could be pretty demanding yet the team there returned week after week to serve those in need. The organization and flow of everything was so smooth. I really appreciated the time of prayer as well. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be a part. I really enjoyed the work and the people. You all make me think of the song that talks about being the hands and feet of Jesus. Hopefully I’ll be able to serve again with y’all when my schedule is not so demanding.
““Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” Matthew 25:37-40 NIV
