"Personal Shoppers"

Turkeys, pumpkin and apple pies, rolls, stuffing, veggies, and much more. Here at the GreenHouse Center November 20th 2010 was filled with giving and receiving hearts, laughter, and people ready to serve as Christ did.Every year here at the GreenHouse Center around the Thanksgiving holiday, we gather donations from churches, schools, the local community, from private donors to fill baskets of food for a Thanksgiving meal. Once filled we go to each families house and deliver the basket of holiday goodies.

This year however The GreenHouse to the initiative to create an opportunity for the families to grab a box and fill it with what they would like to cook during the Holiday Celebration.

So we created the Thankful Hearts Food Store which took place in our facility at RGE.

With our help from Christian Volunteer Network and the GreenHouse, parents helped organize and facilitate this event within their own community and gave back with loving hearts. What started off with a facility filled with tables of food on a rainy day ended with a sunny mid-day with a room of volunteers and empty tables - having served 66 families!

On behalf of the GreenHouse Staff we would like to thank the helpful passionate and compassionate volunteers who were "personal shoppers" and served at our first Thankful Hearts food Store.

Thank You and a Happy Holidays from GH!!!
