Meals for the Heartland


Miss Kate, and I guess that I have no idea what this face is about except that it is hilarious!

All of the kids that worked so hard....Joe Jensen, Ben, Kate, Jack Jensen, Claire VanTreek, Joe Vantreek, and Drew Jensen. These guys did awesome!! What a great feeling for them, knowing that they were part of feeding over 4 million hungry people - praise God for that!

Is he cute or what!!! Love the hat buddy!!

Mr. Ben & Joe, hard at work, counting and packing their meals up in the box.

Over Labor Day weekend we had the sincere honor of being able to be part of Meals for the Heartland. It is held in downtown Des Moines at Hy-vee hall.....people can sign up for times, donate $$$, or both, to help package over 4 million meals for hungry people all across the world, our own communities, and the US. Doug and his Shazam co-workers, along with Aunt Lynne and her principal co-workers all did a 2 hour shift on Thursday. Saturday, Doug, Lynne, the Jensen kids and friends, Aunt Nicki and Kate did a 2 hour shift and everyone was so pumped about the experience that we went back down again on Monday for another shift. It was as amazing as it has been in years past. But mostly, just so exciting to see everyone on fire to help and serve others.....that is such a tremendous answer to many prayers!! Keep the excitement alive in all of us Lord!!! Thanks to you Doug and Aunt Lynne for organizing the team - way to go!!!! Love you guys!!!
