Hill Country Community Ministries

Monday the kids & I helped count, load and deliver to the local food pantry all of the canned food that our church has collected over the past week. We take several cans of beans every week to church and recently one of them asked me where it goes, so when the opportunity to help stock the shelves came up, I thought it was a great chance for the kids to see how it all works.
The numbers came out to 309 total with 117 being rolls of TP, lots of mac & cheese, 10 cans of meat, and some fruit.
It was interesting to go into the food pantry and help put away all the cans. We saw so much mac & cheese!! We decided we need to continue to take beans. They didn't have many of those. We walked into the office and asked how many people they see each day. The administrator estimated 45 including the children of the families they help. While we were there, someone called to see if formula was available. Wow. We are blessed!
