OVER FOUR TONS OF FOOD!!
Our food drive a couple of weeks ago resulted in our delivering 8,590 pounds of food to the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf. In addition, we forwarded over $600 in cash donations. Many thanks to all who contributed to this drive. This is one of the several ways the people of St. John's put the gospel challenge to "feed the hungry" into practice. A special thanks to the great crew of workers who showed up on Monday morning to move all that food to the food shelf in just one hour. A job done well by all. Again, thanks on behalf of all who benefit from your efforts and generosities! -- Deacon Joe Kenney
