No Foolin'

We've finished our first six weeks of hosting a food shelf here at the Vineyard, and what an amazing trip it's been already! We've had two snowstorms that pretty much wiped our attendance out on back2back weekends -- but yet our faithful volunteers showed up! Way to go!

Here are some of the stats:
TOTAL for March statistics= 36 families (126 people) 1,888 lbs of food - 15 clients from February came back to use us again in March

Weekly breakdown:

3/3 5 families

3/10 2 families

3/17 8 families

3/24 7 families

3/31 14 families 774 LBS of food!!!!

Note: February we served 12 families total and gave 425 LBS food

Our goal in starting the Food Shelf was to be serving 15 families per week by the end of the year...so far, so good! Even better news is that some of these families are showing up at church to check us out and have been blessed with car seats, diapers, and other essentials that we found out were needed. Kudos to our team for the hard work that they've put in; and also to the church for the extreme generosity being shown as you give to what God's doing here in the South Metro area. Keep volunteering and keep praying! God is doing such good stuff!

Check in tomorrow and I'll write about the night of Worship & Prophetic we held last FRI.
