MUST Food Drive
An Interfaith Expression of Love and Compassion
Last month, Mt. Bethel and Etz Chaim congregations combined resources to help support MUST Ministries Senior Adult Food Program, 40-Fying Our Seniors. Because of this effort, over 200 senior adults at various Cobb County locations witnessed the love and compassion of our interfaith community.
Mt. Bethel raised over $6,500 to help MUST Ministries purchase food and volunteered to pack and deliver food boxes. Additionally, children of Mt. Bethel’s KidCity and Etz Chaim created cards reflecting messages of love, which were shared with each box.
The significance of the 40-Fying Our Seniors initiative was serving inter-generationally as an interfaith community. However, the blessing goes beyond knowing physical needs were being met. Stories from our volunteers tell of the joy of decorating cards, the fun of preparing the boxes for delivery, and the honor of visiting and praying with our neighbors as they received their provisions.
God’s love is for all His people, and God uses all who are willing to express His love. The partnership of MUST Ministries, Etz Chaim, and Mt. Bethel is an example of how our interfaith community can show God’s love and serve His people in unity, love, and compassion.
