Great to hear Mark,the organization our Church supports has used the same idea for the past 15 years by giving people in our community food cards that can be redeemed at local grocery stores instead of having a food bank.We used to have The Christmas Place where people that were less fortunate could buy new donated toys at a reduced price.We always wanted to moving away from this idea to giving gift cards like Your program.Because of Covid we have finally made the switch to using gift cards.Our Deacons also used the book When Helping Hurts for study material at our Deacons meeting.
