We were able to drop off the monetary donation ($501) to Suzie and Ellen at the Assumption Outreach Center, 219 Page Street, Toledo, OH 43620. Business Hours Monday-Friday 9-2 p.m. If you remember this was the food bank that had completely run out of food last Wednesday. Their shelves were bare and they had nothing. We put a call out on the blog as well as Channel 13 partnered and did a story on the food bank. Today, we were able to drop the cash donation off and check in to see how they were doing.
I was overwhelmed with emotions and just rejoicing. . the flood gates were opened up and they have sooooo much food – THANK YOU JESUS!! I had a goal of us to try to each donate $1 and raise $10K for them. Well, I have to admit I was a little disappointed, but kept feeling like God was sending the exact amount. When I got to the food bank today, I was finally able to meet Suzie, who is the director. She is as sweet as a button and I just love both she and Ellen. They showed me around in the pantry and I was overjoyed at how much food they received. They then said that in less than one week, they raised $10K, yes $10K – HOLLA LUJAH. . now tell me that isn’t just sooooooo exciting. I about fell over!
They have a lot of food and have already given out well over 100 bags, which means just like the Miracle Jesus performed with the 5 loaves and 2 fish, he did the same with everyone’s donations, from food, to monetary donations, to it all. What a mighty God we serve. Thank you all for caring enough to make a difference. Remember none of us can help everyone, but all of us can help someone and when we do, we serve Jesus!! Here are some pictures to enjoy of the Suzie and Ellen as well as the pantry. Thank you again everyone for being the hands and feet of Jesus. . .
