Mission Report
Mission Board Report
September 2009

The past month has been an interesting month here at the Mission.  We have continued to have larger numbers for lunch and I looked at the food pantry on Thursday, (the 3rd) and the shelves looked rather bare and the freezers are also looking a little bare.  The Food bank has not had any meat so we have given out most of the meat we had.  I sent out an email to address that need asking for meat from hunters that has been professionally processed.

I am pursuing another funding source to help with the expense for the walk-in-freezer.  I am waiting on the grant check before I order the freezer.

We had volunteers from Harbor Light Christian School again this past week, (September 8-10) and again they proved to be excellent workers.  An electrician came in for 5 days to separate the outside plugs onto two circuits so we could plug in all the equipment for the Back-to-School-Bash and it worked out well.  We did not blow a circuit this summer like we did last year.

The Back-to-School-Bash went very well with the count of backpacks given out at 750 and I have given about 50 additional packs as of tomorrow.  (I have someone coming for 10 backpacks for a project.)

Our numbers will be higher again this month over 2008 for the meals served.  Very few days we have had less than 100 for lunch in September so far.
