1. Purchase items from the list, or take them from your own pantry shelves.

2. Store them in two or three sacks -- or in a sturdy box.

3. Inform your compassionate ministry group that you have food ready to deliver.

4. When you receive a name and address of a needy family, go with a partner to deliver the food.

5. You may, instead, take the food to your church or ministry office.

We are starting to initiate the Hope Box in our church.  We have a small group who meet once a week.  The church challenged each small group to start an outreach project.  We excitedly told our group about the Hope Boxes.  They are finding lots of ways to put them into action. Terri Niles, LANTANA, FLORIDA
