Shout of appreciation to 5 Loaves Food Pantry who shared the love and supplied produce when our delivery didn’t come in this week.
Special thanks to the many volunteers from Murphy Road Baptist Church and Church Eleven32 who served at Amazing Grace Food Pantry this week serving the less fortunate. Collin County Volunteers are the Best! With their help, over 16,000 pounds of food was distributed, along with fresh produce!
Fresh produce is such a blessing to those who cannot afford healthy dietary choices. This week, families loaded up with all they wanted of potatoes, carrots and broccoli.
Our Ministry is inside the walls, too. Another heartfelt testimony from a volunteer:
I just wanted to let you know that after working full shift this morning, my daughter, Abigail, went to compete in a junior golf tournament. She placed 3rd and won her first medal! After the award, one of the first things she said was, “I can’t wait until I tell the pantry family.”
Most of you may not know the story, but Abigail quit playing golf since the divorce almost 4 years ago. She started back on tour just this February. Our goal was to win at least one medal and make it to the invitational final tournament. With today’s placing, she has solidified her standing to get invited to the final. Against all the adversity, Abigail has made it through and she is continuing to grow. And being part of the pantry has made such a difference for her. Having a sense of belonging and developing a sense of purpose.
Thank you so much for the care you are showing my children. It may be a small success, but it is such a huge step forward for us.
Take the time to read some of the testimonials from clients and volunteers on our website. Volunteer or donate this year. It will bless you!
