May meat canning prove to be continued blessing

To the editor:

Thank you, God, for allowing us to can, and making this the 44th year for your project in Central Pennsylvania.

We canned 34,000 pounds of turkey which produced 21,297 cans of product. We were able to pay for the turkey on time, but we still need help to pay the cost for cans/lids and shipping. We would like to remind you that the 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 its building, and all the neighboring households who have graciously put up with us during these four days. Thank you.

To our area businesses: Big Valley Feed & Grain Co., Penn Equipment Co., Snedeker Energy, Kerstetter’s Trucking and the 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 would like to thank the many volunteers that came out to help with the canning. May God bless you for your support.

To Jonathon Coldren, the Directors and the committee members who were able to help with the canning, I would like to say, “Thank you.” 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 this food. May the Lord bless and keep you.
