"Love Thy Neighbor"

Earlier this week, 5-2 Ministry had the privilege of joining with Clipping for a Cause of Lawrenceville, Georgia, for their first annual "Love Thy Neighbor" food drive.  The idea of a Valentine's Day food drive was a fabulous one--what better way could there be to show the clients of our area food pantries and assistance programs that they are loved and cared for?  When we heard what our neighbors over at Clipping for a Cause were up to, we knew that we had to participate!  The results were outstanding and a total of 4,048 items were collected!  5-2 Ministry's contribution to this effort resulted in the collection of 1, 334 items which were donated to the Southeast Gwinnett Cooperative Ministry in Snellville.  For the complete story of this outstanding food drive, along with some amazing pictures of this ministry in action, go here! 

Thank you to everyone who spread the word in their neighborhoods, gave food, collected food, delivered food, counted food, sorted food, and stocked the shelves at the co-op.  You responded to God's call with loving hearts and showed us all what it means to truly "Love Thy Neighbor".  Blessings to you all.

"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
