THERE IS A GREAT NEED now for extra cereal and extra fruit. For the rest of May, if you could double just one of the items on the list that would help a great deal. They hope to stockpile this summer and be ready for the new school year. Also, there has been a splitting bag problem and they have found that the bags that Aldi sells for 10 cents are very durable and last a lot longer. If anyone shops at Aldi and could buy some additional bags, that would be a true blessing. Thank you to everyone who continues to support this ministry.
