Food Pantry

St. Paul's has a food pantry that is open twice a month on Saturday mornings. I was not busy this Saturday, so I thought I would check it out! There were about six volunteers that were there to help coordinate the food pantry. We moved all the food out to tables and then the clients came down in groups of three to "shop" the food pantry. As they entered the pantry we walked them through each station letting the know how much they could take from each table. We served nearly 45 families. The people that came to the food pantry were mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, grandpas, grandmas, children, Hispanic, Caucasian, old, young, and the list goes on and on. It was certainly a blessing to be able to provide food to God's people. We were able to give from the abundance we have been given from God to those who live in scarcity. Indeed, this was God's work, our hands!
