Hello friends,
I pray that your New Year has started well. Many blessings for your service to this neighborhood!
This week, Terry and I need your help!! I will be unable to go to the Food Bank to shop. Terry (my sweet wife) will need your help to accomplish that task. She will also need help with the sorting and bagging the food once back at the church. Will you please help us? Call me at the church (707) 575-7298 if you can help.
We need donations of the following items:
- Cash for food purchases (always)
- Paper grocery bags (with handles preferably)
- Plastic grocery bags
- Plastic produce bags
- Bulk rice and beans (Costco 25-pound bags are best)
- Clean used clothing and household items
I'd like to ask that you prayerfully consider the following. It takes approximately $100 per week to feed 35 families. The need is growing every week, but praise God, we cover everyone who asks for food!! If this is something you and your family (your neighborhood?) can manage, please let me know. All donations can be made to Hope Chapel West.
If you haven't seen the smiles on the faces of those who receive your blessing, come out one Thursday. They are now meeting us in the street as we drive in and the kids can be heard in their homes, "Comida aqui!". How cool is that?!
Thank you again for your prayers, service and blessing. Many families now regularly hear the name of Jesus and the promise He has for these families.
Blessings,
Pastor Russ (pastrruss@hopewest.org)
