The kids are back to school…are you driving more carefully now???  Our Backpack food deliveries started this past Friday and  things are going smoothly so far.  We are short on those individual cold cereal boxes and individual oatmeal…so if you can think about it…And our regular food bank can always use an extra can of fruit or vegetables. “...for we brought nothing into the world….for those who in the present age are rich…They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous and ready to share..” (1 Timothy 6: 7, 17, 18)
