FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD
One man's vision for easing the sadness of hunger in the Islands continues to benefit our communities through the food collection process at our church. Each week, the contents of WALLY'S BASKET are collected, weighed and delivered to the Food Bank for Grand Isle/Franklin Counties, located in St. Joseph Church in Grand Isle. For those of us somewhat insulated from the knowledge that such a need exists here, it is a surprise to see several families awaiting the arrival of the food and the person who coordinates its distribution.
Our goal for 2010 is 4000 pounds. We are so grateful for your continued support and generosity. 363 pounds have been donated in January 2010.
