Community Service/Giving Back

Often when we are hurting, hungry and in a hurry, we just feel worn out and useless. We just loose hope and even the ability to help ourselves and those we love.

When we get some help, then we can also offer some help to others. If one family is in trouble today, another will be tomorrow. Helping each other makes for a stronger community and it also gives those who are loosing hope the chance to show themselves that they are people of value and contributors to the community.

So, in addition to providing you with food and other material things, we want to give you an opportunity to help others—to give back to the community.
