Greetings neighbors!
A small group of people have met a couple times to discuss what, in addition to the Take It or Leave It Farm Stand, could be done to promote neighbor helping neighbor. The whole thing started from the Feed My Sheep, Grow With God ministry of the church, which fostered the Farm Stand, which was wildly successful due to neighbor's participation by sharing their harvest. It was decided that for now, this small group would be called Neighbor to Neighbor as the group consists of community members, not just church members. While it all began at church, it has, as it should, moved beyond to include more community members, all with the goal of helping one another. Cooperative growth!
The next event is meant to bring folks together for fun, food, and fellowship. Any extra food at the end of the day will be distributed to someone who will appreciate it.
