So, you may wonder where all the fruits, veggies and herbs will go once they are collected. They will be taken to the John 3:16 center down town Tulsa where they will be used and dispersed. Did you know that John 3:16 makes 180,000 meals a year?! We visited their family and youth center recently. Heather and I were impressed with how clean and organized the entire building was. The children's classrooms were painted with bright colors, there was an education room for adult women and even a new playground outside. We even met a sweet lady who has volunteered there for 50+ years. We peeked into the food storage room. We looked in the freezer. We did not see an abundance of fresh fruits and veggies. We want to change that and we can with your help! Some of the produce we collect will be cooked right away to make fresh, healthy meals for the hungry. The rest of the produce will go in food baskets given to families in need. It is our desire for each family to also receive a recipe card to teach them what to do with the yummy squash (or whatever it may be!) These are only a few of the outreaches of John 3:16.
