The weather is starting to get colder in North Texas which means the lines at Metro Relief's food pantry are getting longer. Many of the guests who come through have seasonal employment and when the weather becomes too cold they can't work outside.
Today was another day of over 50 families coming through our door for food. Our pantry relies solely on donations some from individuals and some from corporate sponsors. People do donate food but often times with a cash donation we can purchase food from North Texas Food Bank and a substantial savings.
Today our friends the Bailey's joined us. Ms. Robin and Ella helped Frankie sort through food donations. Mr. Arvid put Gracie to work shopping customers. Ms. Ramona and I handled intake and Abigail checked in guests. It was a constant flow of people and we were so grateful to have friends to help out!
Because it was such a busy morning, after the pantry Robin and the girls and I headed to Freddie's Frozen Custard for lunch, yum!
I will tell of the kindnesses of the Lord,
the deeds for which he is to be praised,
according to all the Lord has done for us—
yes, the many good things
he has done for Israel,
according to his compassion and many kindnesses.
Isaiah 63:7
