Sharing is a wonderful thing

We learn it in kindergarten. We exhort our kids to do it. Sometimes, in adult life we forget the value of it. In the food bank world it is a huge joy to both give and receive. These past few weeks we have benefited from the generosity of Welcome Hall, a grocery store in Cote St. Luc, a food supply company in St. Laurent, Westminster Presbyterian, Christ Church in Beaurepaire and Westview Bible Church. Without the help of others we can't help others.
It is also a joy to be able to help other organizations. We have access to some supplies we can't use ourselves. We are networked with other groups that can use them, so we share. Whether it is coffee, huge cans of beans or snacks for kids programs, it is awesome to be able to call our friends and say we can help them out.
We have learned what a blessing it is to receive, and to share with those in need.

Together, we make a bigger difference.

Peace,
