This past week we received a call from a local tomato farm who had got word about our organization. They called and spoke with our staff and said they would love to donate tomatoes to our center. Little did we know when we showed up HOW many tomatoes they would be giving us.
They shared that they would like to keep the donations coming, and as the seasons change, they would love to donate other types of produce as well.
When our staff showed up to receive the donation, not only was there enough tomatoes for every meal at our centers throughout the week but enough for every family enrolled in our weekly program to take a box or two home.
There is nothing more beautiful for us than when the local community gets involved and generously gives to those in their community that were once deemed as the outcasts.
How beautiful it is to see the spirit of generosity take root in the hearts of those locally.
