One of the amazing things that happen at Christmas in Willamina is the FFA food drive. They gather thousands of pounds of produce and distribute it to Food Banks and agencies through the Coast Range. Our Church is one of the distribution points and today we accepted a couple of hundreds of pounds of fruits and vegetables.
Tomorrow we will distribute a large part of it with our Christmas Food Boxes. Then whatever is left we will give out to people in the community over the next couple of weeks. Today I spent trying to find spaces to put it all that would not interfere with tomorrows services. With the Kitchen remodeling project in full swing that was rather challenging as the space we usually use is full of equipment and cabinets.
I am blessed by the people who have given hundreds of hours of service to see that hungry people are fed this Christmas and blessed that people have been so generous to give. I know that I will also be blessed in the days ahead as the food is given away.
All in all and amazing day with more amazement to come ...
Just Connie
