Good morning and happy Friday to all! Just a reminder that we will not be distributing today and will be taking the 3rd Friday off each month. This will allow us to better serve the community on our other dates. We thank you for your understanding and don't forget to get on the list if you'd like to come by!

How you store your food matters! 🤓🛒🍎🌽🥔🥦🧅🍊
We'd like to encourage you to explore different ways to live more sustainably and prevent food waste. Here are six helpful tips to consider the next time you hit the grocery store!

•Avoid plastic produce bags and take produce out of plastic wrapping ASAP. Airtight wrappings suffocate fresh produce and speed up the decay process.
•Don't wash produce until you're ready to eat it. Moisture encourages decomposition and mold growth.
•Don't rip off fruit stems. Once living cells are broken, micro-organisms start to grow. Keep produce whole for as long as possible.
•Eat the most perishable items first. Raspberries last a few days. Potatoes can hang around for about a month.
•Store herbs with stems in a jar with water in the fridge. Don't forget to change the water a few times each week.

While preparing for today's distribution me and my guys were listening to a testimony of a woman in Washington who opened a food pantry that serves 70,000 people a month.... We say Challenge Accepted in Christ's name!!

Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of the toughest times for people that are in recovery programs. We see a high influx of people reaching out for help, but unfortunately we see just as many give up around this time of year.

We do our best to make these two months as comfortable as possible through providing meals, gifts, and even presents for the children of parents that are in our care during this time.

As everyone gets ready for the holidays we wanted to reach out and give the opportunity to sow into the lives of our students.

Next week is and if you feel led to help us provide for these men and their families through the rest of the year, this is how you can do that!

Click the link provided as the easiest way to make sure that your gift gets to the center that you'd like to support this year. Thank you for your hearts to see lives changed.
