Yesterday, I stopped by to bring a family their food basket. Whenever I knock on the door, one little boy, who I just love, is standing at the door in his diaper. Every time I stop by with a basket he asks “Do you have food?!”. This time was no exception. As I reached the doorstep he asks, “Do you have food?!”. I said, ya come on out. I hand him a batch of bananas, and then he sees bread and the first thing he says is “can I have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich”. Luckily, we had both peanut butter and jelly! Unable to contain his excitement, he wanted to know if he could open the bananas immediately and I am just thinking,
“Oh man, I love what I do, I love what I do.’
This is what we do at JPM, we provide food for families. That’s a big part of what we are doing right now. Feeding kids and feeding families.
We will continue to do so for weeks and weeks to come.
