Needs are up....
Two days ago I got a crisis call for a family in need. Yesterday our partner Jay Dyer who runs our "Food Rescue" program called with 10 families in need. This was in addition to the 25-30 people we see daily in our office. (Which equates to up to 100+ mouths to feed)
Talk about going into crisis mode! The needs are great, the stores we work with are still providing and we are blessed that they do, but we are experiencing a great need for more food. Many food banks close during the summer due to the decline in donations. We will remain open, but hope not to have to limit what we give out.
God is good and he will provide. We have faith!
If you are able to help us with food drives, please let us know. We would be happy to help you to coordinate it.
Thank you and God Bless-

Keeping it real
One of the great things about working at Christian HELP is being able to reach out and help others. I spend quite a bit of time doing administrative work and networking, but on occasion I like to counsel others in order to keep it real.
I answered the phone one day on a Friday afternoon. The call came from a lady named BJ who had been living in the woods for 6 years and was now in a home with running water and a roof over her head. She had called to thank one of our counselors for listening to her and for the fresh food we had given her. I listened to BJ talk about how God had been so good to her and how blessed she was.
For just a moment, I felt guilty for not being thankful enough. God has been so amazing to me and to this Ministry. I am very thankful. Even more so, as I get to talk to the people who have been led to this Ministry for help. I am thankful for the staff and volunteers, thankful for the building, thankful for the clients, and thankful that God supplies all of our needs through the generosity of others. I am especially thankful for BJ who helps me to keep it real.
BJ is a writer too, and I hope to be able to read her writings soon. She set up a blog today and I will post a link once she has some postings in there.
