Senior Day

So far I have told you about the schedule for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursdays are the days for the seniors in the community. They come early in the morning and hang out all day. They talk, play games and have fun. I am in the pantry for morning because we give the seniors food. We usually distribute 75 bags. We prepare the foods that we will give them on Wednesday afternoons, if we have time. This past week's bags contained mac & cheese, a bag of rice, a can of green beans, a can of soup, some snacks and a package of meat. At 11am we stop to listen to the speakers, one in English and one in Spanish. After the seniors eat we pass out their food bags. Those who do not get a food bag will receive a bag of produce. This past week we gave out potatoes, carrots, and green beans.
The seniors come because (1) they need the food and (2) they would rather be at the Gano center than at their homes. Please keep these seniors in your prayers. They do not have people to talk to at home. Pray for their spirituality, their health, their families, and their finances.
Thank you.
