Thank goodness for the cooler weather this week (at least by Texas standards). Clients enjoyed receiving kiwi, cantaloupes, eggs, juice and potatoes… along with the usual staples and meats distributed. As we reach the end of summer, the younger help we’ve enjoyed will no longer be available. For everyone else, be sure to call 972-292-7241 or visit our Volunteer page to schedule a day (or several!) to volunteer in the coming months. Holiday preparations are already in the works, but it truly takes a village to keep this mission going!
Thank you volunteers and donors!
Your contribution has made a huge difference this year. With your help, Amazing Grace Food Pantry is providing more food to 37% more people compared to just a year ago. Also, our new Thursday evening hours are providing more access to nutritious food assistance for working families.
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
