| Water for Loaves and Fishes - Thanks! | |
Thanks to everyone who participated in dropping off bottled water at Loaves and Fishes. Those who brought a case or two or twelve accounted for nearly 10,000 individual bottles donated. We are all very grateful for your generosity. Several other large organizations also chipped in with love and respect and water is being stored to help with the homeless. We love donations and resources given for the people and programs to bless their lives. But humans never exceed five days of life without water - so this season of generosity has richly blessed the situation of hydration and thirst for those who need our help. Thank you! Truly!!
