Village Harvest, Sept 20, 2017 – another strong showing
Psalm 107:37 "And sow fields and plant vineyards, And gather a fruitful harvest."
We have hit a plateau of 160+ served each month over the last quarter. After 9 months in 2017 we are a 33% higher last year in people served and 25% higher in food. As mentioned in previous months this is like a second congregation that meets once a month served by our Sunday congregation.
The chart shows 3 Septembers 2015-2017 when those served have increased from 86 to 162. Food distributed has risen faster from 480 to 1603 pounds. This month we distributed onions, potatoes, squash, corn, eggplant, limes and lemons. We also had whole chickens.
This ministry involves a larger number of parishioners than any another for the most basic of needs and serving Port Royal, Caroline County, King George, Essex and Westmoreland counties.
