Feeding the Hungry in Elkhart, IN

I love seeing people helping people. Yesterday in Elkhart, IN my mom and dad and many people from Granger Community Church and other churches in the community partnered with Larry Jones of Feed the Children to distribute $2.1 million of food. One of my favorite parts of this story is that some of the volunteers were jobless as well. What can we do today to help someone? Do we have money to give? Do we have time? Can we offer a word of encouragement or a smile?

'I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

Matthew 25:36-40
