Kenny helps a tremendous amount around the mission. He has been cutting the grass while we are looking for someone to help in that area. Now he has taken on the responsibility of watering the front Canna Lilys. They are looking great!

Roy and Ed came by and gave the mission a check for $310. They raised the money in 15 minutes! They are also working on acquiring sheets and blankets for the shelters.

A friend from Ringgold grew these amazing vegetables and donated them for the shelter meal.

Chuck saw the Mission needed help carrying display items to special events. He bought this practical gift with all kinds of office supplies.
