We received a monster donation of canned goods and perishable food on Saturday. One of the coolest things about this donation is how we were able to help the Salvation Army in Medina by giving away some of the perishable food to them for their monthly soup kitchen: PROJECT MUNCH.

This donation came about because of the generosity of the youth work camp going on last week. 370 plus teens from 8 different states and 13 different churches spent last week doing community service projects. And they brought canned goods to donate to local food banks and charities.

Duane Kenyon, a member of Christ the King Lutheran Church, was part of the team that organized this work camp. He wrote to me in an e-mail, "The canned foods were donated by the Group work camp attendees and the fresh food was left over from the meals served during the week of camp. These were donated by the co-sponsor Christ the King Lutheran Church. I'm glad we could help your awesome mission."

Christ the King Lutheran is located on the corner of Rt. 42 and Kennard Road in Harrisville TWSHP.

God is so good! Thank you Duane, and Christ the King Lutheran Church, and all those teens who gave of their time to serve the needs of others in Lodi and the surrounding community.

We're struggling with the room to store this donation. Our pantry needs some TLC. It's overflowing. We shouldn't be surprised by this. God the Father spoke through one of His prophets saying, "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it" (NIV, Malachi 3:10).

Any youth groups or church small groups wanna' do a community service project at the cafe to help us clean and organize our pantry? Anyone need a can of soup?
