It’s A Good Day To Do Good

Have A Blessed Easter
There are so many lessons that can be garnered from the Easter story. Lessons of humility, sacrifice, obedience, love, and redemption are woven through the story of Jesus’ painful death on the cross, the days leading up to it, and the days that followed – including his glorious resurrection!

Helping US Military Veterans
Every month, we call the staff at the local Veterans Affairs clinic to ask about what their current needs are and how we can partner together to meet them. Sometimes, the answer is “we’re doing okay on supplies right now,” and other times, we’re able fill their supply closet.
We’ve provided cases of bottled water, snack foods and candies. We’ve donated hundreds of pairs of socks, as well as underwear and undershirts. We’ve delivered blankets, stocking hats, scarves, and gloves; books, magazines, pens and notepads.

Gleaning In Action
In recent weeks, working with our international partnerships, we have supplied humanitarian aid to Venezuela, Ghana, and Nigeria. During a busy season, we realized we had sent our 3,800th shipment (since 1998)! It was a full tractor trailer load of supplies headed to Whiteville, North Carolina, to our partner helping with area individuals and families struggling in the aftermaths of not one, not two, but three Hurricanes!
