Spring 2008! "If someone had told me just three months ago that I'd be able to pay all my bills, I would have never believed them!" LW

Papa's Pantry is more than just a food outreach.... Our "FAMILY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM" offers food assistance alongside training components to help each family strengthen foundational skills throughout the time it takes for them to regain stability and truly get back on their feet! We also find ourselves working with families who have never considered themselves stable, and for the first time, they are given hope, direction and support! As far as we know, we are the only whole-istic outreach of this kind!

"Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word of the living God."
"My people perish for a lack of knowledge."

	We ask that you prayerfully consider becoming a financial supporter of Papa's Pantry, and financially help us exist to help others. We have noticed an increased momentum and trend since last July. The needed budget "on paper" to meet these increased needs is not there. Our estimated 2008 budget reflects a $2,000 per month shortfall, to simply "maintain." This may not sound like a lot of money, but as a grassroots ministry, it certainly is. In the mission field, every dollar is critical. If you are able to help, even if it is a one-time gift, so many people will be able to get the help they need to truly get back on their feet, and stay there. We offer a hand up, not a hand out God's way. Thank you in advance for all you can do.
