Feeding the hungry

 Our local food pantry has been running low this summer, so our friend Andrea had a fabulous idea to walk the neighborhood for donations.  The kids were SO excited to do it!  We even hit about 5 houses just on the way there.

 Our motley little crew walked up & down about 5 blocks or so.  They were so cute! 
 We collected about two wagons full in a little over an hour!

 A couple of days later we took it down to the food pantry to see where it would go.
 They had an abundance of expiring baked goods & insisted that the kids take some.  No arguments there!
 We brought in 88 pounds of food & left with big smiles (& 6 boxes of goodies).
Before we left, we stopped to pray for the people who worked there & the people who would be eating our food. 
This was such a fantastic project.  Thanks for organizing, Andrea!
