Please help -- We are continuing to break record numbers of individuals we serve in the culture of poverty including the homeless. In the month of June 2011 we have served over 1,600 individuals with food. The numbers keep growing and we need your help.
At the same time food donations have been down from individuals, churches, and businesses. For the first time in over five years, we have not been able to purchase ground venison through the Iowa poverty program for the past two months, and will not until the next hunting season is well underway. We are also experiencing a shortage of food we can buy through HACAP. HACAP itself tells us that they are receiving 50% less food from the U. S. Government that they have in the past. As they continue to serve their seven county area as best as they can, we are hearing of food pantry closures due to the food shortage.
We need your prayers and help in stocking our food shelves with canned vegetables, tuna, and fruit; as well as frozen one pound packages of hamburger and canned beef stew and other canned meals with high protein.
You are in our prayers. God bless!
Yours in Christ,
Chaplain Pat Kane
