New Shirts

Our new logo designed by Brock Plumley.

This past week, we got our new shirts with our new logo on them. We're pretty excited. And today our volunteers all showed up with their new shirts on, so I had to take their picture. Don't they look great?

New Volunteers

We're always excited about new volunteers at Living Water. But today was extra-exciting! These three boys were on their way to the library with their aunt when they drove by and saw us unloading our food truck. They begged to stop and help! So they came in and helped put up some of our groceries...and then we found them other jobs to do.

From left to right: Nate, Tyler & Austin. They didn't mind pushing around a broom and cleaning our chapel.

Here they are with their Auntie Julie--what a crew!

I'm so excited these three brothers have a heart to help. I can't wait to see how God is going to use them when they get big. They're already off to a great start!

Wal-Mart Grant

Recently, Living Water was awarded a grant of $1000 by the Wal-Mart Foundation. Derek Thompson presented the check to Becky Dietz, our Director, at our local Wal-Mart store. The grant was given to us as a participant in hunger relief in our area. We're proud to be a part of this great effort!

Vietnam Veterans

Recently, the Vietnam Veterans Texas State Council met at Borger. We were contacted months ago and told that we'd been chosen to be the recipient of their Project Amigo. We couldn't be prouder! We are so grateful for the men and women who fought in this war. These people sacrificed so much for our nation. We'd like them to know they are OUR HEROES!

Our own local hero, George Nies, fought in the Vietnam War. George volunteers weekly at Living Water. We asked him to receive the prestigious Project Amigo gift to Living Water.

George told the council about the work we do at Living Water. As he spoke, I heard lots of responses in the crowd. It was a proud moment.

And George received the check from the Vietnam Veterans Texas State Council.

We were delighted to get a group photo of those giving this gift to Living Water.
Thank you, Vietnam Veterans and Associates of Vietnam Veterans of Texas! Your gift to us will help many lives in Hutchinson County.
And we are grateful.

Campaign

Living Water is in the middle of our Alan Feinstein Foundation campaign. Anything (money or food) donated in the months of March & April will be applied to our application for part of the $1 million Alan Feinstein will be giving away to alleviate hunger in the United States.

How can you help? Every dollar given to Living Water in March & April will help us receive more funds through this foundation. Every pound of food given to Living Water will count as $1. So if you have a desire to give to Living Water, NOW'S THE TIME!!

We're so grateful for those who give and help. And we're grateful for programs like this which will help so many people.

Meet Selena

Meet Selena McClellan!

She is the new Assistant Director at Living Water.

We're so glad to have her on board.

So when you call us, you may hear a new voice.

Please come by and meet her--

she'll want to put a face with that voice!

Feinstein Foundation Campaign

The Feinstein Foundation founded by Alan Shawn Feinstein has a campaign to raise awareness and to help alleviate hunger in America. Their organization will donate funds to Living Water in proportion to the money and food received during March & April.

So....if you want to give a gift that will be greater than what you can give alone, this is a wonderful opportunity! Each item of food given to Living Water during this time will count as $1. So if you have a school, business or organization which would like to have a food drive for us, it won't just help fill our pantries; it will be applied for funds to be received from The Feinstein Foundation. Everyone can help!!

Please consider giving to Living Water March 1-April 30. Your money will go further--much further!

A letter from Alan Feinstein himself:

Please use MY money to help
your neighbors in need!
My name is Alan Shawn Feinstein. For the past 13 years, I have been giving away $1 million each year to anti-hunger agencies throughout the country.
This year, I am doing it again…
WHATEVER YOU DONATE TO THIS AGENCY,
I WILL ADD MONEY TO IT. THE MORE
YOU GIVE, THE MORE OF MY $1 MILLION
THEY’LL GET—THANKS TO YOU!
Why am I doing this? Because I believe each of us was put here on earth to do what we can to help those in need. You got this letter because we feel that YOU believe that, too.
This has become the greatest grass roots campaign ever to fight hunger in our country. Your donation makes you a partner in it with me!
My money started this campaign but it is YOU who will help decide how many needy people in your city or town will be fed this year. All that will matter to us someday is what we did while we were here to help those who needed us.
We Are Needed Now!
Please give whatever you can - I will gladly add some of my money to yours. (My $1 million will be divided in full proportionately among
the agencies receiving donations toward my offer.)
Thank you for sharing my heart, and the hope that—someday—no one will ever go hungry.

Sincerely Yours,
Alan Shawn Feinstein
