Everywhere on the news, they keep telling us how bad things are and that it is just going to get worse. It is a story of doom and gloom and not hope. But we can help change that if we reach out and help one another. We can make a difference by giving of ourselves, our time, and that which God has blessed us with. As I was walking around the Bridge Ministry warehouse this month, it became glaringly obvious that the normal overwhelming amount of food was not there. Candy told me that due to donations being down at Second Harvest Food Bank (now known as Feeding America), our food supply is low as well. The lack of donations and funding definitely has a trickle down effect, as evidenced by the empty warehouse shelves. Most of the food that we have at the warehouse is purchased from organizations like Feeding America (Second Harvest) or Feed the Children, and those organizations are at record lows for food and monetary donations. According to statistics on Feeding America’s website (http://www.feedingamerica.org), 1 in 8 people in America experience hunger in a debilitating way. We know from past experience of the children at the Vena Stuart Elementary School that some children will go hungry from Friday until lunch at school on Monday. With the food at the warehouse, we are able to help put together the boxes so that they can have food over the weekend. Since the food is in short supply, it can make it more difficult to fill the boxes for the kids. Thankfully with God’s provision, the food is there. But you can help and make a difference by a monetary donation, giving of food, organizing a food drive and so much more! To learn more about what you can do to help the Bridge Ministry, visit www.bridgeministry.org, and to learn how to donate your time, money, or food to Feeding America/Second Harvest, visit www.feedingamerica.org. Giving even just $1 to Feeding America helps supply ten pounds (10 lbs) of grocery products which other oranizations, such as the Bridge Ministry, can then purchase to distribute. Giving to the Bridge Ministry also helps us continue to minister to those under the Jefferson Street Bridge and beyond! Please pray for God’s leading in how He would have you to donate whether it be your time, money, or in other ways.
Until Next Month,
