“In a generous spirit pay homage to the LORD, be not sparing of freewill gifts. With each contribution show a cheerful countenance, and pay your tithes in a spirit of joy. Give to the Most High as he has given to you, generously, according to your means. For the LORD is one who always repays, and he will give back to you sevenfold.” – Sirach 35:10-13
Many families in our area are homeless or facing homelessness. The food we give to them helps them use some of their resources to pay rent or a mortgage. Once they get behind in their payments, there is not much chance of them catching up and keeping their home. In your generous spirit of giving, you not only help your neighbors, you pay homage to God by feeding the poor. As you shop online or in stores this week, please keep our pantry list in mind.
