Thanks to Prestige Auto Sales and other important donors who pitched in to pay our truck repair bill at Cummins Truck Service.

The bill was $5900 and the donors were more than generous in their giving.

Our semi tractor is back on the road and hauling goods for those that need it. Thank you! Thank YOU!

Did you know that we have a mini store located at our food bank location? It's open during food handouts on Tuesdays appropriately 8:30am to noon. EVERYTHING IN THE STORE IS HALF PRICE (excluding the jeans)!!! These pics are only a few samples of what we have. Come check it out 🙂 Located in the first room on the corner and a volunteer can direct you if needed.

Be sure to watch TV 20 news tonight at 11... You might hear a familiar food bank mentioned 😉 😁

A big thank you to Samuel Parker and bread/ baked goods supplier Bimbo Bakeries USA as a new HC supplier/partner.

Unfortunately, you cannot see the bread from any picture as it was on the truck being handed out directly as people drove by. This was a zone affectionately called by locals, "little Mexico". All bread Thursday went here and our own campus distribution.

Monday went to Hardy Mission in Leesburg, Belleview United Methodist, and smaller groups.

Friday went to Gateway and Solomon ministries, and Ocala Church of the Nazarene near the airport.

We had a total of 1738 people in those lines and you truly blessed them. Thank you!

We're having an amazing sale this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 8:30am to 5pm. Come see us for some great deals and to support your local food bank.

His Compassion Food Bank sends a big thank you to:

David Southern Hill Farms for growing and donating

Kelly Stainner Society of St. Andrew - Florida (and all the gleaning workers) to make over 1175 pounds of beautiful squash happen for our food distributions over the next few days.

Fresh picked produce at an official "Fresh from Florida" approved farm.

The heart healthy produce was picked, packaged, and loaded with such great care and will be going directly to a His Compassion client table beginning this weekend.

Thank you! Thank you!

On Easter weekend, so much food came in to His Compassion Food Bank on Saturday. On Good Friday, two loads of grouper and a smaller load of bread, as well as two other loads, came in. Does anyone remember bread and fish and feeding the 5,000? We took a load with a pallet each of fish, bread, orange juice, strawberries, water, two Publix meats, Kraft cheese, pillows, assorted produce, and sanitizer to "Mexico Chiquito, "little Mexico" as it's affectionately known. We were blessed to be a part of their lives for a time. Today, He is Risen! He is Risen indeed! Thank you to all of our suppliers, cash donors, volunteers, and the Almighty! Amen!

21 pallets of frozen grouper. What a gift at 3 am! Thank you to all of our food donors that so early in this year have helped us average 2 million pounds per month in food and drink.

Thank you to all of the fiscal donors that keep the funds flowing to make all of the transportation and refrigeration possible!

Thank you to such an awesome volunteer team that drives the trucks, run the forklifts, stack and pack the food, work the deliveries, hand out the food at the distribution sites and main campus, collect yard sale and auction furniture and household goods for our daily sustenance of cash supply, the trash team that gets 40 pallets of trash per week crammed in the dumpsters or sent to the dump, the store team that greets customers with cheer as they sell the furniture and goods that pay for the fuel, the administration team that coordinates the flow of all things HC, the many agencies that we serve and those that support us, the congregations from many branches of HIS church, the clergy and prayer teams that pray for our safety and success, and so many other hands and hearts that make all of this possible every day.

What an awesome undertaking, good work, and smile that comes to every volunteer's face when they can barely make it to their car each time they give everything of themselves for others.

Thank God for the gifts, HIS GIFT, and his favor! ❤️

9 to 5:30
