Packing Thanksgiving Boxes

Last Tuesday, October 23, we had a great day at the Midwest Food bank working with our volunteers to pack the Thanksgiving boxes to send to New York City. Some of us from Spread Truth arrived at the Food Bank at 9:00 a.m., along with several volunteers from IWU, ISU and local churches. We had a daunting task - filling over 400 boxes with lots of different Thanksgiving food. But with the help of our eager volunteers, we finished all the work by 2:30pm - it was amazing! And with all the extra time and manpower, we were able to continue serving at the Food Bank and bless them by helping sort their food. What a great day to be a part of, where lots of different people from the community came together to serve God and help people. Here are some pictures from the day...

After taping the boxes together and putting Spread Truth and Food Bank stickers on them to identify them, we started to fill them up with food!me helping fill boxes

When we were done we had over 400 Thanksgiving boxes ready to send to families in New York City!!!

We are still taking donations for Thanksgiving boxes. Right now we need to raise the money for about 25 more. If you would still like to contribute, you can send us a check made out to "Spread Truth" with Thanksgiving in the memo line. Send checks to our office at 1801 W. Hovey Suite D, Normal, IL, 61761. Thanks to all of you who already donated, and to our wonderful volunteers! Happy (early) Thanksgiving!
