Facebook Family and friends,
‘Tis the season to be a blessing,
What a year this has been! With COVID-19 keeping families apart, and people out of jobs, children home from school more, times have been hard.
Our Good Samaritan Ministry at Gleaning Baptist church has been open every week since March trying to make a difference in our community and in the lives of those who find it hard to have hope, with Healthy food and a hopeful heart.
We certainly witnessed increased need due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we also saw increased generosity from our compassionate community.
We work hard to ensure that children can go to bed full and satisfied, that seniors do not have to choose between food and medicine, and that families and veterans have the food they need to live a healthy lifestyle.
But we cannot do it alone. We need your help, our friends,, and family..
Your help makes our work possible, it will put smiles on the faces of those who desperately need our help this holiday season.
The holiday season is a time of togetherness, of family, of love, and of celebration.
This pandemic has put a strain on everyone in many ways, but there are still people whom the Lord has blessed and are able to be a blessing to others.
Maybe you have never went to bed hungry, or went to school hungry, or didn’t know where your next meal would come from, but thousands of children, seniors, single moms, and veterans do!!!
This is your opportunity to bring Hope back to many, and let them see the love of Jesus in your heart, no amount is too small. I repeat no amount is too small.
We buy food at .19 cents a pound from the Virginia Peninsula food bank and give it out to those in need.
I see a lot of things go viral on Facebook let’s see if we can make the gift of giving go viral. Share with your friends, And let’s be a blessing.
