Pictures do speak a thousand words, don't they?
Check out the pictures of our last trip and you to will see a significant change in the appearance of the children who have receive these meals. The time you give to this one day makes a big difference in the lives of these children. We could not accomplish this on our own. Think of it, four hands verses 1,000 hands. When hundreds of people come together to package these little meals, thousands of lives are changed. The more we do these food packaging events the more lives that are impacted, not only with the food that we are packaging and sending to Tanzania, but it also opens the door for us to share the good news that Jesus Christ loves them. Showing love and building strong relationships is what we believe speaks a love language much louder than our words.
Our next food packaging event is right around the corner so please mark your calendars for Saturday, October 9th and come out to Africa Harvest of Hope's 3rd Food Packaging Event.
We will be at the University of Redlands, in University Hall from 10 am until 4 pm. Anyone interested in helping out for the day as a volunteer leader please contact Alan or Shannon Reed at (909) 335-8167. We have many positions to fill for all day helpers. You can also sign up on line for a shift or an all day slot.
We will do another 100,000 meals. Remember that we will need 500 volunteers, giving an hour or two of their day, to package bulk rice, soy protein, dry vegetables and vitamin base bullion. The packages will be boxed up and sent to Tanzania. Any little bit of time you can work that day will help, so don't think an hour is not helpful. IT IS! (Watch an event on the tab marked video)
Also, remember these events are all done through the means of donation only. One bag of food cost $1.25. You can share this concept with friends and family who can't come and ask if they can help by donating even $1.25. Kids can get involved too. Get creative. Take a bag of food (we'll supply you with bag of food) and show people what you're doing. People what to help but sometimes they just need to know how. Remember to tell them that 100% of everything donated to Africa Harvest of Hope goes to the project. Nothing is used for administrative purposes. Shipping the container to Tanzania is also part of the cost of this project. The overall cost from start to finish for one food packaging event is about $18,000. Thank you for your support in this project. Kids are eating good nutritious meals today in Tanzania because of you!
Please call to request fliers to hand out to your church, youth groups, service groups, Boy or Girls Scouts or just neighbors and friends.
Thank you all for your support of this project.
God bless you,
Alan and Shannon
