Some Great Guys!

We have some guys who will go to any length to help us out at Living Water!!

We got a new freezer today and had to do some major shifting around to make it fit! And when you shift things around, you find things like this. Cairl Horst is quite the guy to clean up our gummy messes!!

We had to move our volunteers refrigerator into the break room to make the new freezer fit in our food room. It was quite a task!

George Nies is the former owner of Montgomery Wards in Borger. So he's a pro at moving heavy items. And we're so grateful he kept his dolly from those days!

But look at this new chest freezer---it has dividers in it! And something Gib Welch always wanted for our food room. We can't wait for him to see it!

Help Wanted--Food!

Living Water has a need. We purchase our food from High Plains Food Bank in Amarillo at a reduced rate. Right now, we're not able to get a lot of the things we need from them--their supply is low! If you have a group who is looking for a project, we'd love for you to help us. We need about 100 of the same items. We can use basic supplies like flour, sugar, margarine or packaged products like egg noodles, Hamburger Helper, or crackers. We could also use snack items like animal crackers, cookies or Pop Tarts. Anything will help! We're still able to get some of the canned vegetables..but could use canned meats. It will help us so much if we get 100 of the exact same thing.

If you have any questions, just give us a call at 274-6434. THANKS!!

Betty Wins!!

Betty Terry

Yesterday, Betty Terry, Gracie Boyett & Mary Jean Nies attended the High Plains Food Bank conference with me in Amarillo. It was very informative. In fact, we learned some things that we'll be implementing in our ministry in the coming days.

At the end, they always have a drawing for some great prizes. They've learned that our ministires love a good dolly! We hadn't gotten our tickets for the drawing, so I found the man who held the tickets---and he only had four left! Perfect. And the first name they called was "Betty Terry!" She chose a dolly for Living Water. We're so excited---and we know our guys are going to be thrilled. Betty offered rides around the building for $1 to try and make a little money for us, too. Way to go, Betty!!

Veterans of Foreign Wars--Adobe Walls Post #1789

This morning, we had a great honor at Living Water. The Adobe Walls Post #1789 Veterans of Foreign Wars brought a check to us in the amount of $1000! They told us that they support what we're doing in our community. And we're just as proud of what they've given and sacrificed for our nation.

God bless you guys!!

Memorial Gifts

Did you know that you can give memorial gifts through Living Water? If there's been a death in your family or a friends' family, it's a great way to remember that person. It honors that person by helping others. Living Water helps the less fortunate in Hutchinson County with food, clothing, financial assistance, school supplies and Christmas gifts. So when you give a memorial, it's an investment that gives over and over to others. We send a very nice letter to the family or families to let them know of your gift. You can also send a gift in honor of someone you love or respect.
