Grocery Bag Giveaway!

To live in a community in which its individuals live in a wonderful harmony. This is the mission of 2Coats. To truly understand the mission, we must be aware of the definition of the term harmony. The origin of the word comes from late Middle English via Old French from Latin harmonia meaing ‘joining, concord,’ and from Greek, from harmos ‘joint.’ On Saturday November 20th, the community of Grundy Center moved closer to that mission of harmony, as several volunteers from the 2Coats organization teamed up to giveaway more than 90 bags of groceries to different community members throughout Grundy Center and several surrounding towns.

Thanks again to all those who were able to fill bags, hand out bags, pray for the day, etc. We filled the bags to the max. We had bags rip, handles break, and soar muscles today from carrying them to several locations throughout Grundy Center and the surrounding communities. Thanks for making them overflow...

A comment from a bag receiver today, and this was just one of the many...please feel free to send me your stories so that I can put them in our blog...

A few verses I was thinking about today...

Ephesians 2:8-10
John 2:1-10

We have received several notes and thank you's from throughout the community...many have sounded like the following two God stories and a note I received at school on Monday.

May we continue to be vessels through which God can work, open to His will, people of His presence...

A young boy came to the door to let us in and then called out to his mother "Mom, come quick, someone's here to give us food". She was vacuuming so she wasn't able to come to the door as quickly as the child wanted her to respond. We kept hearing him say "quick, Momma, they are giving us food". She cried and said "Thank you, you couldn't have come at a better time in my life".
----------

We were greeted by the man of the house at another home. He asked us in and the look on his face was shear shock and joy when we handed him the bag of food items. We gave him God's message and Todd reached out his hand for a hand shake. The man looks him in the eye and says "I'm a hugger" and proceeds to open his arms as wide as he could go and pulled Todd into his body. He was so happy with our blessing.

"Thank you very much for the food delivered on Saturday. Is it very much appreciated. It will help out very much since we are going through a difficult time right now. I know I have to put my strength in God right now to get through this difficult time. You help me through part of this. If there is any help I can do to repay what you have done for us let me know. Thanks again, I really appreciate it."
----------
"Thank you so much for the bags of food/supplies. I cannot tell you how much the boys and I appreciate your generosity. I am sorry they did not open the door for you! we wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving. You are a blessing to us and will be in our prayers."


May we continue to be vessels through which God can work, open to His will, people of His presence...

Thanks again for being you. Bless you. Be on the lookout for our December outreach. I will send over a note later today...
