Thank you for planting seeds of hope in the lives of our neighbors! Your regular financial giving is providing relief for someone every month.
“Having this available for people like me—it’s such a huge relief to know that there is a place I can get a meal. So friendly, they never make me feel ashamed… Thank you for helping me through this tough time.”
As a Seed Partner, you embody one of our core values—generosity. You consistently provide essential services for struggling families, seniors, and others as they take steps toward a more hopeful future. You’re also making a wise investment!
Studies have shown that there is some joy in receiving, but even though our happiness may increase as our income increases, this is only true up to a certain amount. Once we have what we need plus a little extra, it doesn’t matter how much more we get—happiness levels off.
But the correlation between happiness and giving? Now that’s another story! There is no limit to the joy we receive from giving out of our abundance to bless others. Even giving when money is tight (as long as it’s done with conviction, not compulsion) can reap a return of satisfaction and fulfillment that money could never buy.
Jesus was right. It really is more blessed to give than to receive!
The purpose of this private webpage is not just to thank you and update you on happenings at the food bank. We want to encourage you on your stewardship journey, to inspire you to relate to your resources in fresh and liberating ways. Ultimately we want to help—not just our clients, but you as well—to move toward your more hopeful future. This is a journey we’re all on together, a journey where food is the first step.
