Meat canning was great thanks to your support

To the editor:

We thank God for allowing us to can here in central Pennsylvania, and making this the 43rd year for this project.

We canned 36,000 pounds of turkey which produced 22,616 cans of product. We are thankful that we were able to pay for the turkey on time, and we have faith that the money needed for the cans/lids and shipping cost will come in. We would like to remind you that monies given are tax deductible. Any monetary gifts can be sent to: Central PA World Hunger Assoc., P.O. Box 76, Belleville, PA 17004.

We would like to thank the East Derry Fire Company for the use of their building, and all the neighboring households who have graciously put up with us during these four days. Thank you.

To our area businesses, Boring Transport, Inc., JWB Storage Trailer Rentals, Big Valley Feed & Grain Co., Penn Equipment Co., Snedeker Energy and The Sentinel and area newspapers and radio stations, we say thank you for your support.

I would like to thank the churches, the groups, the businesses, the farmers, the families and individuals who supported us with financial gifts. We could not do God’s work here in central Pennsylvania, without your help.

A special thanks to Teresa and Lee Cunningham, and their group, for another great year of feeding the volunteers.

We say thank you to J. Leon and Wanda Yoder, for housing and feeding the canner boys. This has been part of their ministry for many years.

We would like to thank the many volunteers that came out to help with the canning. May God bless you for your ministry, to those in need.

To Jonathon Coldren, the Directors and the committee members who were able to help with the canning, I would like to say “thank you.” We worked together as a team, and with God’s blessings, we again completed this ministry. Well done. We give a special thanks to the canner boys who give two years of voluntary service to the canning project.

May this meat, be a blessing to those who hunger. God is great, God is good and we thank him for our food. May the Lord bless and keep you.

With you, we can.
