Group Grimace went to Harmony House today. Harmony House is a homeless organization/shelter in Downtown Huntington where group Grimace will be serving this week! After finishing at Harmony House we ate lunch by the beautiful Ohio River!!

The Blue crew killed it this week!! From weeding to building shelves to packing food boxes they did it all with a huge smile! With one more work day ahead of us we cannot wait to see how God uses the rest of the time!

Group Grimace and Blue Frog Myers made blessing bags to pass out to the homeless downtown. The bags were filled with bottled water, encouragement cards, PB&J, and chips. We made about 100 bags!!! Kudos to the ones who carried the coolers!!! They were heavy!

Our group (the funky frogs) got the chance to go to A New Beginning Pregnancy Resource Center! And these kids were FAST! In less than two hours they completely rearranged the garage with all the resources that are available for the women in Huntington, WV.
We thank God for the opportunity to be part of the mission that Kara (the executive director) and the staff at A New Beginning have!

On Wednesday we went to the Foodbank and we worked nonstop until noon. We completed over 6000 meals! Let me just say that our pace was on point… makes us think of how the Lord always guides us in our efforts, providing the perfect rhythm and timing for each task we undertake!
