matters that affect the quality of our lives. The

 To the editor:As we look
back on the 35th Harvest of Talents for World Hunger events and
celebration, we are absolutely filled with thanksgiving and are
deeply humbled by the continued support for hunger relief from our
community, so - with grateful hearts on behalf of hungry children
around the world, we give you a HUGE HARVEST THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you for sharing a measure of your time, talents, prayers,
encouragement, and resources for the various Harvest projects and
events throughout this year and especially on Harvest Day (always
the fourth Saturday of October) when doors were opened to hundreds
of friends, neighbors, and family, from Alaska to Florida, Minnesota
to Texas, who shared in fellowship while many and varied talents
were turned into 'rice and beans’; non-perishable food items were
also accepted for our local food pantry.
This year’s Harvest offering was $100,717.24 (and, yes, every penny
counts!), and was given to International Disaster Emergency Service,
100 percent for hunger relief. Since Harvest of Talents began 35
years ago, there are now seven sister Harvests in three states, and
the Lincoln area alone has raised $2,340,453.06.
[to top of second column in this letter] |
This year, our gratitude grew vastly in measure, as
we introduced our new Junior Harvest Team and watched so many of our
young people catch the vision and make it their own.
As Pat Snyder, Harvest Founder, says, "As long as there are hungry
people, the Harvest has a mission!”
Thank you Lincoln, Logan County, and central Illinois - together, we
can share hope and be found faithful to Matthew 25:35, “For I was
hungry, and you fed me.” The 36th Harvest has now begun!
Don’t grow weary of doing good ~ you’re so good at it, and we are
blessed to be a Blessing! X O
Carolyn Neal, Chairperson
Harvest Ministry Team [Posted
