“Our Heavenly Father….has lovingly commanded us to ‘prepare every needful thing’ (see D&C 109:8) so that, should adversity come, we may care for ourselves and our neighbors, and support bishops as they care for others.” –The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, All Is Safely Gathered In
Early Monday morning, August 28, 2017, in the middle of Tropical Storm Harvey, several families in our ward congregation had to be rescued from their homes by boat because their homes were in danger of flooding. These included families with small children. The call went out immediately for breakfast and lunch food to feed them. We quickly gathered several bags/boxes of food and had them to the meal location within 15 to 20 minutes of the time of request. We gathered bread, cold cereal, canned fruit, canned soup, canned pasta, tuna, peanut butter, jam, cookies, and snacks.
What could you gather in 10 minutes?
