    Default Oh my! Freecycle RAOK

    Someone posted on Freecycle that they had a box of a few canned goods, some rice and pasta. With things being tight I emailed about them. She told me that it was gone. Then later in the day I got an email from another Freecycler. The original poster and forwarded my email. She asked if we could meet them that night.

    I had to go to church to work in the nursery, so DH went. Well, John went to pick it up while the girls and I were at church. I was expecting a bag of some canned goods, and a bag of rice and beans.

    Dh called me on his cell phone and told me the back seat of his Saturn was full! When I got home here is what I found:

    4 loaves of bread
    pkg of hamburger buns
    sheet cake
    pound cake
    pie
    pecan tarts
    2 pkgs pork chops
    whole chicken
    2 packages italian sausages
    summer sausage
    bacon
    seasoning ham
    2 packs of sliced turkey
    pkg of ground turkey
    pkg of fried chicken breasts
    2 pkgs of corn muffin mix
    1 cans green beans
    mac and cheese
    dried beans
    rice
    tuna
    fruit salad
    jello

    I know there was more, I just can't remember it all! What a blessing! Things are tight for us and this helps us out so much!
