The end of the Have a Heart for Hunger campaign is at hand* and the results are in!
173 individuals/organizations/congregations contributed to the campaign and donated a total of $68,128.44. And that figure doesn’t factor in the value of the groceries donated during that period, which totaled well over a ton of food. WOWZER!
Let’s try to put that into perspective a little bit. $68,000 could provide:
Lunch for 28,000 individuals in the Soup Kitchen
OR
Emergency groceries for 1,300 families
OR
Meals on Wheels service to 30 clients for a year
OR
68,000 packages of marshmallow peeps -- maybe more if we catch the post-Easter clearances!! Very tempting...

Where does all that cash come from? Well, I’m glad you asked because it's good to know that I'm not the only one interested in neatly arranging data into categories.$30,000 was contributed by one all-star individual who rocks a great deal
$26,256.64 was donated by 150 other (also-fabulous) individuals
$7,998.22 was donated by 13 congregations and congregation groups
$3,051.45 was donated by 4 schools, clubs and/or non-profit organizations
$822.13 was donated by 5 businesses
So, all together now, a final THANK YOU to everyone who demonstrated what it means to Have a Heart for Hunger!!
* Checks received after today that are clearly designated for the Have a Heart for Hunger Campaign will still be counted.
