The ladies made Christmas cards for each individual and placed them inside the bags along with the food. After a blessing was given, they loaded the truck and eagerly set off to distribute the food. I think the excitement of riding in the back of the truck was as much fun as the blessings they distributed. Life is difficult enough for the average family…but for a senior who is unable to work….a week’s supply of food was received with grateful thanks. 
Fifa was surprised with a kiss for their generosity to this man. It was awesome to see the lady pictured below putting her Christmas card on the outside of her home to share with all who passed by. 
Thank you to Luckny and Mateo for going door to door the week previously to compile a list of all the seniors and for overseeing the distribution. We could not have done this in such an orderly fashion without your help.As we reflect back on 2011, we would like to thank our heavenly father for his many blessings in providing a steady income and employment for 9 people through the RECYCLE H.O.P.E. jewelry program. Many thanks also to the mission teams and individuals who became ambassadors for the poor by purchasing the jewelry. You are making a difference in these families who can in turn bless others.
Last month we received some Tim Horton boxes and were able to make more than 90 sets of jewelry which are going back to the manager of the Gleaners in Cambridge, Ontario. If you have a favorite brand please send Jane a note along with the cardboard ….we do custom orders also.Visit our website at http://www.recycle-hope.org/ to learn more about RECYCLE H.O.P.E. and how you too can “Help Other People Eat”.
Currently, we are in the process of updating the profiles of the individual jewelry team members and hope to have this information posted soon. 2012 is just around the corner and we are excited to show you some new jewelry items. Big hoop earrings and more to come.Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy…Matthew 5: 7
