Man and Children in Need

As many of you know, Food for Life has been helping a man and his three children in need as of the last few months. We were able to help him get into an apartment, and many people donated furniture and clothes. Soon after, the children's mother came to live with them, but then this week she left again. She is the one who currently gets the food stamps, and that is how they were getting their groceries. Now that she has left, they have no means to get groceries, as it takes the majority of his paycheck to pay the rent and utilities at the apartment.
We are asking that anyone who is interested in helping would donate giftcards to Bi-Lo, because their apartment is accross the street from Bi-Lo. They need the giftcards as soon as possible.
Also pray that this will be a learning experience for the father, as he is a new Christian and is learning the importance of making right decisions in his relationships. Donated cards could be mailed to our home (2903 East North St. Greenville 29615), or they could be dropped off to Paul at Streetside. We will immediately get the giftcards to this family.
Thank you,
Charity
