More Thankfulness Action!

Hey! A bunch of you participated in the Ridge Church November service project. We helped Knox Area Rescue Ministries (KARM) distribute hundreds of turkeys and food boxes to the less fortunate in the Knoxville area just before Thanksgiving (right after our little Chlo Chlo was born).

I didn't thank you all for participating in that yet, but I hope you know that you rock! Here's a cool email we got from KARM the other day. Thanks for loving folks in Knoxville in Jesus' name with us! You Ridge Church peeps are pretty cool...

Dear Thanksgiving Basket Volunteer,

2008's Basket Assembly was the fastest ever….and Basket Distribution allowed us to give away more than just food….

A great event was made even greater! Over 200 volunteers served with love and sacrifice by sorting and counting food, decorating all 1300 boxes with willing hands, filling them with meals for 1300 families (fastest year ever!), or being a face of hope at distribution. An extra 100 boxes were given away this year! Whatever your role in this year's event, you were a part of a successful effort to provide the Love of Christ to those in need.

We are thankful for your sincere efforts this season.

Have a great New Year!!

The KARM Volunteer Team
