Thank You to the Finderne Rescue Squad for Last Night’s Donation!
Last night, the team of volunteers at Feeding Hands was overwhelmed by a massive, surprise donation from Finderne Rescue Squad! During the pantry’s regular Tuesday evening hours, the Finderne Rescue Squad pulled up in their rescue vehicle with a sleigh full of donations trailing behind. The Rescue Squad and the volunteers from Feeding Hands worked […]
How Do You Use Your Positional Power?
As a former CPA, the Bible story of the tax collector, Zacchaeus, always bothered me. In my mind, when Zacchaeus decided to mend his ways, he could not possibly have enough money to honor his commitment to repay those he had cheated.

Being There in the Joy, Relief, Sharing and Grief
We served 221 families providing food to almost 600 individuals in September-up another 10% over August. But the numbers do not tell the story.
