Last few days to help

Food Recipients at Living Water

(posted with permission)

There are only three more days to give to Living Water in the Feinstein Foundation Challenge!  Living Water will be open today until 3, Friday from 9-noon, and next Monday from 9-3.  If you've wanted to give to Living Water, this is the perfect opportunity!  What you give will help us get a percentage of the million dollars Alan Feinstein and his foundation are giving away to food agencies to alleviate hunger in America.  I wanted you to see some of the faces this ministry helps.  (This is only a small percentage of our clients that day--the ones who were willing to have their photo taken.)  It's not about the money---but about the people being helped.  Most of our clients are trying so hard to make it.  They don't want to be in the circumstances they're in.  And we're helping.  We help with food, clothing, utility bill assistance and now we're offering Life Skill Classes which will help them in financial training, cooking, job interviews, nutrition, and exercise.  

If you don't think it happens in our country, read what a friend posted on Facebook today:

"Just bought groceries at Braum's. Saw a homeless man eating leaves from a tree. So sad. We bought him two breakfast burritos and had a server give it to him with our compliments. We waved. He waved. Food for thought. Lots of people without."

It IS happening here.  And it only takes one crisis for any of us to be in the same position.  So...if you're in a position to help, please consider giving.  Living Water is trying to make a difference in our community!

Last Week!!

This is the last week of our push for the Alan Feinstein Foundation donations.  Whatever is given to Living Water during the months of March & April will determine the percentage we receive of the million dollars this foundation is giving to help alleviate hunger in America.

If you bring a can of food, it is the same as donating $1.  But if you bring $1, it will buy 6.25 pounds of food!

Please consider donating to Living Water before April 30!
