Growing, Grace, and Groceries

Growth
The summer of 2008 has set new growth records at The Caring Place. We had the busiest month since the opening 6 years ago. In July, 1022 households received food with 940 households receiving clothing. During this same time period our regional food bank (a primary source of food) was experiencing a record shortage. Yet, we did not run out of food. Donations have come in steadily as the number of consumers has grown.
Groceries
In July and August, Bi-Lo chose The Caring Place to benefit from the two Cleveland stores annual hunger drive. Hundreds of people purchased $5 bags of groceries. Volunteers from The Caring Place manned tables to encourage donations on three different Saturdays. Thank you Bi-Lo, the caring people of Cleveland, and our wonderful volunteers.
Grace
“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.” 2 Thessolonians 2:16-17
