North Pole Christian School starts "Food Bank Month" today

I had a great time this morning presenting to North Pole Christian School during their chapel.  NPCS kicked-off "Food Bank Month" today with songs, boxed goods, and a presentation about how the Food Bank relies on this community.

One of the questions I often ask of a group is what they already know about the Food Bank.  The first answer out of the kids, one in the 1st or 2nd grade none the less, was that "sharing food is important."  That was a great way to start.  And after a great discussion, the last answer, from one of the senior high kids, was (yelled with great exuberance) "SHARING MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD!"  Yep, it was a good way to start out my day!

The kids at this school always do a fantastic job with their food drive.  It is a joy to be able to speak with them every year!  Many thanks to them for a month dedicated to serving our customers!

We will even be seeing 6 of their senior high students this month for a couple of days of volunteer service.  They are doing a local mission project because they know that there are hungry people right here in Alaska.  Smart kids!

Thanks!
