Our family Project Reach day at the pantry was a wonderful time! We
had about 40 people on the team ranging from a few years old, on up through people
in their 70’s. For two hours we boxed
hundreds of boxes of food and meats for the families in need that receive help
from this ministry. What an incredible
time of fellowship and getting it done!
Some team members taught their children how to box food as
they slid the boxes
down the rolling shelf system. It was so cute to see the parents sliding their children along sitting on the rolling shelf, with the young ones grabbing a can of vegetables or fruit and dropping them in the box.

We re-organized the large walk-in freezer, so that it could
accommodate all of the boxes of meat that we had prepared. Golden Corner is
blessed in the fact that they do have access to some great cuts of meat. Ya
never know what is available, but I have seen steaks and chicken that made my
mouth water! I always joke that we need to put a gas grill outside the door for those cuts of meat that might just "happen" to fall out of the package.
The pantry director Richard Kulper was a bit surprised by
our large turnout, and the fact that we not only accomplished everything
needed, but also re-stocked the pantry shelves for the next workers to come
during the week and cleaned up our mess when we were done! Our team came in
like a whirlwind J
Thank God for the work that Golden Corner Food Pantry
is doing in Oconee County. As we began to wrap up the day by cleaning up, we
gathered in the parking lot in a big circle to pray, and ask God to bless this
ministry as they now serve over 1200 qualified families in our area.
Our next serve day will be on Tuesday, November 15thfrom 1-3pm. We need 6-8 people for this one. If you would like to Reach with
