August service project

The August service project was sweet and simple and just what it needed to be.

This is the last time donating food items to the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd
 this year (but also taking into account the money I’ve set aside from Jacob and my
contributions to give them a large check in October to help with the cold weather
lunches that always need a little more substance) and I loved it.

These people and their incredible goodness in providing the homeless community in their
 area a sack lunch each Wednesday(plus, I recently learned they also serve some low-income
 nursing homes that need extra help with lunches each week), is just so beautiful and amazing.
 I have loved that we have been able to help donate food several times and also volunteer a few
 times in addition. This church and these people will always have a special place in my heart
and I’m excited to continue to help them in the coming months and years.

In addition, I thought it was the sweetest that the woman in charge of this program
volunteered to pick up the donations from our house this month, because of a
scheduling issue that came up for me. She’s become such a good friend and
that has been the sweetest bonus blessing to this particular service project.

Thank you for those that donated, I can’t tell you how much it is appreciated or
how many times the people running this program have asked me to thank you.

It’s a lot.

Because you sure give a lot.
