January Food Donation Acceleration

The Bread of Life ministry thanks all those who have so generously given food to help those in need. You have been a blessing!

In January we are hosting a Food Donation Acceleration, asking everyone to become involved in bringing in as much food and cases of water as possible for the Bread of Life pantry. Get your kids involved and canvas your neighborhoods for donations; watch the store ads for great sales; ask your co-workers to donate; get creative! (Send your success stories, comments, or questions to breadoflifeministry@live.com). At the end of January we will have a Donation Administration Day. (Details later in this blog.)
