Today, we received a donation of blankets from the National Center on Family Homelessness and Capital Group Companies. Our guests were so happy when they saw what was in the box. I barely managed to snap a picture; half the box was gone within 30 seconds!

Not long after we put the last can of tomato soup away there is a knock at the door.  Pastor Phil Gains was there with his pickup truck loaded with Nutrisystem packages that he just could not finish.  He said that each month they send him more whether or not he has finished the last and that it has built up.  Thanks Phil.  If you happen to be attending the service at Georgetown Lutheran this weekend Tell Phil we appreciate it!

Yesterday, Friday, February 18th, some people from Anthopologie, the store up in Georgetown Park, came by to see if we could use some soup. a lot of soup.  I hesitated….”Cans?”, I asked.   Yes they were cans so I said yes.  Later in the day Carla Weeks came by with another Anthropologie employee and a huge cart of cans of tomato soup.  Carla is the Senior Display Coordinator for our Georgetown Store.  She used the cans in a display and when they retired the display they though, “we can’t just throw this away.”  Thanks Carla!  Thanks Anthropologie!  Here’s to many more edible displays.  And Carla, have you thought of displays with socks?  Underwear?  We can use it all.
