On our food pick up today we found out that the coolers at Metro Relief were down. That means there was no way to keep meats, cream desserts and cheese dishes cold.
We pulled out the breads and cookies and non-refrigerated items and loaded the shelves at Metro. Then we called our friend R.J. at Minnie's Food Pantry and asked if he had room for food. R.J. is the son of Cheryl Jackson the founder of Minnie's. Minnie's is named after R.J.'s grandmother and serves as a tribute to a single mom who struggled to provide food for her family.
We loaded up one of his coolers with Tom Thumb & Starbucks pastries and Papa John's pizza. The food will go out to Minnie's guests on Monday. Minnie's is the food pantry in Plano where the kids and I volunteered for several years. It was a bit of drive as the kids got older and had more school work, and we were fortunate to fine Metro Relief in our own neighborhood. It was good to see our friend and to check out all the improvements they've made to their operation.
Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner,
but blessed is he who is generous to the poor.
Proverbs 14:21
