Last week via email, I found out we ran out of snack money. I’ll stand up and own that I wasn’t paying attention to the invoices. And, I definitely started to panic a little. I found out we needed $3000 to pay for snack for the remainder of the school year.
I called Aramark to try to figure out a plan. Ideas were swirling through my head… “maybe Kiwanis can help, maybe the food bank, I’ll go to Sam’s club, should I call the treasurer and see if he can cover it somehow, Title money?…” Then, in that very moment as I was on my office phone talking to Dave Wilson at Aramark, my cell phone rang. I looked at it and noticed that it was Brad Snyder, the pastor from Veritas Church! (If you recall, Veritas sponsored our snack so far for the school year to the tune of $5000). I’m not sure about you but I truly believe that there are no coincidences and that I was witnessing God’s work. In that very moment I knew that our friends from Veritas would help us. So, as soon as I hung up the phone I called Brad back. Of course, he didn’t answer! So I left him a message and after much back and forth we finally were able to talk TODAY. I shared with him the story of our snack and asked if the church would be willing to give $3000 more to our school. Brad talked to some people and called me back within minutes to tell me that a check was on its way. I just know the work we are doing here is the right work. I feel like this story is a reminder to all of us that we have people who want to help us and we are not in this alone. Keep fighting the good fight! These kids need us!
