FOOD PANTRY FACTS:
More than 500,000 people in Arkansas are food insecure. In 7 months this year Geyer Springs UMC fed 7,914 of them. 200,000 children are food insecure. We fed 3,766 of them. WE served 220 families Oct. 6. Our cupboards were bare. WE are going to the Arkansas Foodbank every Wed. to take advantage of free and limited cheap food, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to stay ahead in our finances. Please remember every dollar you give buys an average of FIVE pounds of food.
If you give $5 a week to our food pantry you will have donated 100 pounds of food for that month. Thank you so much for all you do give and for your prayers. With your help and God’s grace, we can continue our mission to feed the hungry!
