Food Ministry

Part of our service this summer has been helping with The Bridge of Storm Lake's food ministry.  Sodexo, Buena Vista University's food service provider, has been donating food that wasn't able to be served on that day.  These donations are all prepared food that volunteers pick up from BVU, take to the Methodist Church, package, and freeze.  This food is distributed to the community at the Methodist Church on Monday nights from 5-7pm.

Last Wednesday, some help was needed in picking up and packaging food.  Kirsten and I went to BVU to pick up the food and never expected to receive 17 pans of food! What a blessing!  In total, we packaged 107 Ziploc bags of food.

The 17 pans that the food came in

We were so blessed to receive this food! This past Monday, Sodexo donated an additional 12 pans of food, and 98 people from the community came to receive it.  The large influx of donations was like God telling us that more people are coming!  He is good :)
