Impact…Hunger Service Day
Thanks so much to everyone who participated in Stuff the Truck and the related service events. We delivered 30,000 pounds of food to various ministry partners.
Suzanne Griffin, the Director of Brother Bill’s Helping Hand, had this to say:
The gift Brother Bill’s Helping Hand received this morning from Watermark Community Church was amazing! I could not believe all of the food, diapers, and hygiene items that came off that truck. Over the next two weeks over 400 families will come to BBHH for groceries. They will be astonished at the generosity of your membership.
…the Grocery Store is our open door into the lives of our neighbors in West Dallas. Because they come for food we are able to touch families in a meaningful way. Mothers register for English class and job training programs, adults receive quality health care through our Community Clinic, children participate in a variety of programs, and throughout it all the love of Jesus is shared.
Thank you for largest amount of food ever donated to Brother Bill’s Helping Hand. Thank you for the hard-working crew of volunteers you sent to unload the truck, and thank you for your continued prayers as we try to meet the needs of those living in West Dallas.
In grateful appreciation,
Suzanne Griffin
Many folks also served at North Texas Food Bank on Saturday, boxing and sorting food items for distribution. $1 given to NTFB provides 4 meals for those in need. Another crew of folks went back to BBHH to help with their annual back-to-school roundup for West Dallas children. Still others served at Sequoyah Elementary’s back to school event, where others had spent the prior Thursday helping teachers get their rooms organized and painted. To stay up to date on serving opportunities with Sequoyah, please visit the blog at www.watermarkblogs/impacteducation.
Way to go in serving and engaging our community on Saturday!
