    Default 2 Big Boxes Of Free Food ! WOW!

    My family was truly blessed this week There was a lady on freecycle that emailed me & had 2 big boxes of food for us if we wanted it.She had remembered me from when I picked up stuff from her before & she thought of us before she posted on the site. Anyway, I picked up the food, got it home & was going through everything. Wow......I gasped when I saw that all of the items were name brand. This sweet lady is a single person, but I could just imagine how high her grocery bill must have been....I guess I was a little shocked - but I am so grateful for her gift...it helped stock the pantry a little more & the kiddos are enjoying treats that they normally wouldn't get.
