3) DELIVER THE FOOD BASKETS:  Help deliver the food baskets to a few Belair-Edison families! Gather your family and stop by Res on the afternoon of November 21 to pick up some baskets.  We will have a list with the names and addresses of a few families for you.  Deliveries need to be made on November 21st or 22nd.

A final note of encouragement:  When Michelle Chase shared our plan to help with Thanksgiving food baskets with the Community Coordinator at the local elementary school in Belair-Edison, she was SO excited!  The Coordinator had been praying that the school would be able to provide Thanksgiving meals to 50 of their families.  The day after she prayed that, Michelle sent an email saying that we could help.  The Coordinator was blown away by the way that God answered her very specific prayer!  Praise God for hearing and answering.  This is awesome confirmation that we are following His leading!
