I have another sponsor! Thanks to AO! :)
My total funds raised so far is $7/pound which is $140 when I reach my goal, which is approximately 583 meals!! Awesome!! Let's keep it going... who wants to be my fourth sponsor?? And who wants to be my first recruit to join the team??
Random, somewhat related story...
This morning I had every intention of grabbing a handful of pennies from our change jar at home to bring to school for a craft. They were sitting on my kitchen counter and in the hustle bustle of the morning I ended up forgetting them. So when I arrived at school, I quickly sent an email to all the teachers asking if anyone would be willing to donate some pennies to the cause... not only did I receive donations, but I ended up with triple of what I needed! I know this is a silly story, but I was just thinking how if I hadn't asked I wouldn't have had any and I would've had to completely change my lesson plan for the day. I just took this as an example of how in the Bible Jesus says, "Ask and you shall receive." Now, I know we don't always get what we want when we ask Him for things, but He ALWAYS does provide what we NEED, even the seemingly "silly" things! I know He could provide food to the millions of starving children around the world without my help, my Lord doesn't NEED me, but I love that He WANTS me and is USING me to help! What a humbling lesson to learn...
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

Sounds like you're off to a great start! Put me and Ange down for $1 a pound. I found the response from my church incredible, have you thought about asking your pastor if you could make an announcement about what you're doing? (there might even be someone else there who will do it with you...)
