Star-Telegram Reports on Food Banks Delivering Fresh Produce To Needy

I read this interesting article in today's Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Love the innovation of using (donated) refrigerated trucks to take fresh produce to folks who need it, right where they are. Apparently, storing fresh and frozen produce is a problem, space and money-wise for most food banks, so the mobile pantries are a smart solution.

Also, I was reminded that so many people in our area are willing to stand in line for hours for fresh food for their families. That's something to think about. Right here, in our neighborhoods, in our schools, and in our churches, people are having to make tough choices like whether to pay the utility bill or buy food.

Please continue to pray for our communities, for God's continued blessings on our garden, and that we may be a true service and a ministry for those who are in need.
