You did it!! The truck was FILLED TO OVERFLOWING!! THANK YOU for your amazing support for the individuals registering right now for the Fall trimester of classes. In just two days, you supplied the notebooks, snacks, bottled water, gift cards, groceries, cleaning supplies, personal care items and more that will go to our class participants.

As we chatted with folks stopping by to drop off gift cards and requested items, we were able to share about the ministry of local churches through Love INC, as well as connect with faithful volunteers and supporters. After the dire weather predictions for Saturday, Sunday turned out to be a near perfect day! We had about 10 cars stop by on Saturday, and another 35 on Sunday.
