The Incredible, Shrinking Garage!!!


Well, it seems our garage is getting smaller, or the Food Bank is GROWING! Skip and I looked at some old pictures from just a few months ago. We thought we had so much food. Now we look at the abundance and we're amazed!!! We add people to our list weekly, so we're growing in numbers. We're over 200 now, and that represents some singles, students, some small families and some very large families! So, an accurate count of 'mouths', would be more like 600, or possible even 800. It's hard to believe!

God is pouring out the provision as the need grows. This is Shelly in the photo above. She picks up produce for us from HyVee on State Line. She had the idea, the burden & she ran with it! She is a blessing to us all. We now have more food than ever! The abundance is amazing. And there are always left overs that are taken to the base or FSM for those who can't come during hours to pick up something. Our garage is seemingly shrinking with all we bring in these days. We've tried to re-arrange and make the best of the space. But its obvious, that one of these days, we will need a bigger place! Even tho it's crowded with overstock items, I'm still not giving up my half of the garage we keep the Honda in!!! I'm holding out : ) So, meanwhile, we spill out to the drive way with some things. It's food bank, Al Fresco!!!
