Our Bonner Scholars have been BUSY this week

Our Bonner Scholars have been working really hard getting us ready for an epic week of delivery.  We have made deliveries to Beacon of Hope, Neighbors in Need, New Victory Baptist Church Help Center, TouchPoint Ministries of Tri-Cities Baptist Church, Keystone Housing Ministry of Tri-Cities Baptist Church, the United Methodist Church of Spring Creek and Colvin Community Church of Spillcorn.  Thanks to Hunter Wallace  who sorted canned goods to be given to Madison County residents who are serviced through our program called FARM (Feeding Aging Residents of Madison) as a part of Madison County Community Services.

And thanks to Jenna Greene and Juanita Guzman who bagged cornmeal for the Spillcorn Community. 

All of these young ladies also bagged potatoes and pintos for our deliveries this week.  We are thankful for our Bonner Scholars and the wonderful work they do.

Giving thanks to God for allowing us to serve those who are in need.  Bill and I talked today on one of our deliveries about how blessed we are to be able help.

We are wishing all of our friends and family a Happy Thanksgiving!

Potatoes, potatoes everywhere

Last week, Sharon's dad and mom (Glenn and Eloise Howell) came to help The Lord's Harvest.  Daddy bagged 7,700 pounds of potatoes, Mama put labels on 1,400 cornmeal and pinto bean bags and Bill moved 15,400 pounds of potatoes.  As you can see, our barn is being put to really good use!  We are ready for the month of November!

We would like to acknowledge Caitlin Deaver's HARD work in organizing the food items for packing the boxes.  You may remember that Caitlin volunteered with us this summer as a part of the Bonner Scholarship Program at Mars Hill University.  Even though she did not have to help us, when asked she agreed to put out the food in an organized manner :) to help us be ready to pack boxes on Thursday. Caitlin spent an entire day getting the tables ready!  A huge shout out to Caitlin and her sweet spirit!  We love YOU! <3 We could NOT have done it without you!

Bagging Beans

Cornmeal

We grind our cornmeal and hand pack it while including a recipe for our recipients to use. We were certainly thankful for these smiling helpers!

Why We Do What We Do

We know that the hunger problem in Western North Carolina is overwhelming. We hope the work we do at Lord's Harvest makes a difference while partnering with food drop off points that are already working to make a difference.

This is why Bill explains what we do to all our volunteers who help us!

Mars Hill University Student Volunteers

We are grateful that Mars Hill University students were ready and willing to help us!
