Christmas in July

I have to brag on some of our SummerS.A.L.T. troops. It's so wonderful to hear what our folks are participating in around the city. From D.C. Cafe, to Sunshine Mission, to handing out water at the parks--so many are serving in practical ways.

The picture here shows some real stars in my book. Jay Duncan had a vision to distribute 10,000 Feed My People bags and collect what we could to fill the pantries of this great organization that feeds the needy. After handing out the bags, this group collected enough food to fill over 300 banana boxes, about 2,000 bags!!!


Carol and John DeGuire, the directors, told me that this was the biggest amount of food ever collected for their pantry! They said, "It looks like Christmas around here!"

Rock on, SCCC! SummerS.A.L.T. is having a huge impact!
