MUST Ministries’ Post

Hey, I'm Mike Richard, I'm president and CEO of MUST Ministries. I want to send out a very special thank you to so many of you that have responded to the incredible need that we're experiencing this summer with our summer lunch feeding program. So matter of fact, we've seen those numbers triple, which is absolutely stunning to us. Quite honestly, we didn't expect it to do that this summer. Let me tell you why we think that may be happening #1 inflation #2. The schools and many districts have changed their feeding model. So right now, for students to be able to eat, they're actually having to show up at the school for breakfast. They're having to show up at the school for lunch, they're having to consume the food there. So that's why we think their numbers are down and our numbers are up so drastically. And right here on the table in front of me, you can get a good idea of what one week's worth of breakfast and lunch and snacks look like. Plus we're always looking for juice boxes, Capri Suns, the Mott apple juice, anything that can help to hydrate these children across the summer months. And so you can do this a couple of different ways. One, you can go to mustministries. org, look for the summer lunch drop down and there you can go and find an Amazon wish list and you can just order directly. There's a link that takes you straight to Amazon and you can do it that way or you can get. Even more involved by actually going to a Costco, a Sam's Club, the public's in your neighborhood, the Kroger, and buying the objects that are going to become the meals for those children. And so a couple of different ways that you can do it. But can I just tell you this? We appreciate you so much. Thanks to all of you who've made financial contributions to make this program a reality. This is our 29th year and there's one thing that we're committed to. That kids must eat and you're helping us to make that come true for so many children over 7000 a week right now that we're seeing that are participating in our summer lunch program. Thank you and God bless.
