One definition of grace is, “the condition or fact of being favored by someone.” We think of grace when we think of the pantry as a church family. To be given grace to share grace-to be given to freely in order to be free to give is a wonder filled experience.

It was a huge blessing to have Carlos and his family with us at the pantry this month. Both Carlos and Blanca have been struggling with consistent work. And, in Carlos’ case, though he has many talents and gifts, he has been out of work for five months now. We were able to provide them with needed food and got the chance to invite the children to Vacation Bible School. The pantry staff looks forward to serving them again, with grace. – submitted by one of our partner pantries, The House – a Church Family, Reseda
