Groceries for Families: Week 7 - Day 6
It's fortunate today’s pick-up time was in the morning, so families avoided the heat coming this afternoon. You can see in the “View from Above” photo that all of the canopies went out today to provide some shade. Thanks to those who have loaned us the canopies!

Today’s groceries were delivered by Evangelical Chinese, Victory Court, and Bellevue Presbyterian. A total of 140 orders were brought and nearly all went out today to families. The remaining few will likely go out on Monday morning. The operation went well today.
Saturday’s are hard because everything is done in the morning, so time is short. See the time-lapse video. Thanks to Sam for recording it.
The Mother’s Day gifts ended yesterday, but today was a final opportunity to wish the ladies a Happy Mother’s Day. Hopefully, they will enjoy tomorrow.
A few emails from families to pass along to you:
Muchas gracias por entenderme Daniel, que Dios lo bendiga a usted, a su familia y a todo el personal que colabora en jubilee reach. Porque por medio de todos ustedes nosotros hemos tenido un plato de comida en cada tiempo y todos los días en nuestra mesa. Que Dios les siga dando salud, y muchas bendiciones a todos. Gracias; atentamente Doris.
Thank you for understanding, Daniel. May God bless you, your family and all the personnel collaborating at Jubilee REACH. Because through all of you we have had a place of food on our table every time and day. May God continues to give you health, and many blessings to all. Thank you. Sincerely, Doris.
Thank you for this beautiful detail for Mother's Day. I thank you all for this beautiful gesture. I know you guys are a great support. May God bless you always.
I would like to thank everyone for all the hard work and open hearts. Thank you for helping to feed so many hungry people. Thank you to every single one of you that donates time to help and to give. Thank you for putting yourselves second and those in need first. May God bless you.
My mother wanted to thank you for all the amazing work that you do for so many people. Thank you for donating your time and risking your health for people in need who need your help. Your help keeps my family fed. She says “Bless you!”, and I agree, you deserve too much
