Don't wait a single moment - February 2013

 Monday, January 28th our We CAN group met at Ardis' home to prepare 50 sack lunches for the Food and Care Coalition.  These lunches are made for people who are working, have appointments or interviews and cannot go to the Food and Care Coalition for a meal that day.  We also collected hamburger and hotdog buns for the Coalition.

The lunches were delivered to the Food and Care Coalition in Provo, which provides many resources for the homeless and low income of Utah County.  They not only feed people who are hungry, they also provide hygiene supplies, shower facilities, laundry services, internet access, hair cuts, emergency shelter, and have different client outreach programs.  They focus their efforts on providing hope, dignity and compassion.

Sharing Our Love

"What would be the cumulative effect of millions of small, compassionate acts performed daily by us because of our heartfelt Christian love for others?  Over time this would have a  transformative effect upon all of Heavenly Father's children through his extension of His love to them through us.  Our troubled world today needs this love of Christ more today than ever."  Elder Russell M Ballard, "Be Anxiously Engaged," Ensign, November 2012, 30.

 Monday, January 7 we met at Lynn's home to make Valentine's to give to people in local care centers on Valenine's Day.  A lot of creativity and artistry was used to create over 100 Valentines.  We also collected winter coats and paper products for the Food and Care Coalition.

 Aren't these Valentines lovely?  We hope they brighten up someone's day and they can feel the love that we put into them as we created them.
