We picked up over 150 bags of food Saturday and then donated them to a mission downtown this morning. Thanks to CrossPointe Church Youth from Valdosta for all their help, we couldn’t have done it without you! The mission told me they average 1 bag of food per week per household… so that means that 150 more families will be eating this week!!! Thanks to the Ardsley Park Community for being so generous! We will do this again soon… look on your front door!!!
On Thursday we hung over 1000 bags on doors on Whitemarsh Island asking for food donations. Today, We collected 30 bags full of food to donate to the mission! Thank you to the families who donated & thanks to FBC Douglasville Youth for helping!!! Here are a few photos…

We donated 20 kits to a mission downtown. It may not seem like a lot in the scheme of things until you realize that when people come to them for a kit, they can say “YES” 20 more times. We have to start somewhere and I for one am excited about what I Heart Savannah has planned for the future! Stay tuned for events in April!
Here are a few photos of the kits…
