<v Speaker 2>now for our community connection right here on K one,

15
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:42.600
<v Speaker 2>the one you trust. And we have Sherry Smith and

16
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 2>with us and usually when Sherry, when you come in,

17
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:50.600
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about bowls, but we're talking about maybe, you know,

18
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>thinking about making the donation and kind of putting it

19
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:54.119
<v Speaker 2>in the ball.

20
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's exactly right.

21
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know our wonderful fundraiser we do every years

22
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.320
<v Speaker 4>in August. Yeah, all that he goes to do what

23
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm here to talk about, and that's feeding people every day.

24
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 2>And you know, there's something that's getting harder and harder

25
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.400
<v Speaker 2>to feed people every day with the costs going up.

26
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:10.680
<v Speaker 2>I can't imagine and how that's affecting you, well, you

27
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 2>know the recipients.

28
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 4>It's hard enough if you're feeding a family of four,

29
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 4>but can you imagine feeding a family of three hundred

30
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:17.560
<v Speaker 4>or three hundred and fifty.

31
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.400
<v Speaker 5>You can't even imagine it. But we've got on average.

32
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's it's beginning to be an average. You know,

33
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 4>we've increased numbers thirty to forty percent over the last

34
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 4>year and a half two years. And you know, if

35
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 4>you take food prices on top of that, gas prices

36
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.120
<v Speaker 4>and all the things that goes along with it, you know,

37
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.200
<v Speaker 4>it's it's a tough time. Everybody's feeling it now.

38
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Even at Agape Mission here in town, which has been

39
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 2>around for quite a.

40
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.680
<v Speaker 4>While, almost twenty five years. Twenty five years in February.

41
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 4>I know, it's unbelievable goes.

42
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:52.040
<v Speaker 5>By, isn't it quickly?

43
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>But you've gone to you know, rebuild and everything else

44
00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>and everything, but the cause and the mission stays the same.

45
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 3>We're feeding the hungry, that's exactly right.

46
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yeah, there's just more of them, and we're you know,

47
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.159
<v Speaker 4>we're seeing people and people are calling to say, what

48
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.080
<v Speaker 4>is it that I need to do in order to

49
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 4>eat there, because they've never eaten at a mission before, right,

50
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 4>And so we are very thankful that we have such

51
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 4>a beautiful place to come, a clean, warm.

52
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 3>And cool depending on the weather outside.

53
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Uh, you know, the Good Lord takes care of

54
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 4>us every day, and he brings the food in, he

55
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 4>brings the volunteers in. We're always needing volunteers. So if

56
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 4>you have a lunch hour, if you're working and you

57
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 4>want to come serve once a week or once a

58
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.560
<v Speaker 4>month or whatever, the doors are wide open for you

59
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 4>to come. Always tell youth groups, you know, they can

60
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 4>go on a missions trip and they don't have to

61
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.199
<v Speaker 4>raise one penny. They don't have to buy a plane

62
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.120
<v Speaker 4>ticket or a bus ticket or.

63
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 3>Any of that. All they have to do is drive

64
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 3>to the west side of Bartlesfield.

65
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.319
<v Speaker 2>A little sweat equity goes a long way. You've brought

66
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 2>some numbers. They're quite astonishing.

67
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:02.360
<v Speaker 3>Well it is.

68
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 4>I just took a quick copy this morning before I

69
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 4>left work. You know, I keep saying our numbers keep growing,

70
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 4>but they do. In July of this year we served

71
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.599
<v Speaker 4>the most we have ever served in one month, even

72
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 4>during COVID. Okay, and COVID was our worst time, but

73
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 4>July we served six seven and fourteen meals. Last month

74
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.199
<v Speaker 4>was our second largest month and we served sixty two

75
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.599
<v Speaker 4>ninety one wow. So as you can see, we're extremely busy.

76
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 4>And you know, in October, as far as our Food

77
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 4>for Kids, we had two thousand, seven hundred and ninety

78
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 4>six sacs that went out in October to all the

79
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 4>schools in Washington County that we try to make sure

80
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 4>that there is no child in that school goes hungry

81
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 4>over the weekends.

82
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:56.719
<v Speaker 2>I'd sure once again for the folks, you kind of

83
00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>put it out there for them at the name of

84
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 2>the program is.

85
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 3>Food Got a mission Food for Kids program.

86
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Now they get something to eat over the weekend because

87
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:08.560
<v Speaker 2>these kids aren't going to go to.

88
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 3>School, well, that's exactly right.

89
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 5>They may or may not be food to go around

90
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 5>at their.

91
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:14.919
<v Speaker 3>Home, that's exactly right.

92
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.560
<v Speaker 4>And we do over six hundred, almost six hundred and

93
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 4>fifty sacks a week just in that program.

94
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:23.600
<v Speaker 3>But then we do.

95
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 4>We do mores trying to see what our Atlas program.

96
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 4>You know, we have one school that takes care of

97
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 4>our it's called the Atlas program. And these are not

98
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 4>some of them are children that not maybe are going

99
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.920
<v Speaker 4>hungry over the weekend. They are, and so we give

100
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 4>them it's shelf stable stuff, but we give them enough

101
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 4>stuff any day that they're not in school during the

102
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.920
<v Speaker 4>school year, they get food to eat and that's breakfast, lunch,

103
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 4>and dinner when they're not at school. So no Rizzy

104
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 4>does like during spring break, they had I don't know,

105
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 4>seventy some sacks or something that went out, you know,

106
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 4>because he's kids have to eat over the weekends. And

107
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.399
<v Speaker 4>it's not by any means in our Food for Kids

108
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.480
<v Speaker 4>program a meal, you know to say a meal, but

109
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.240
<v Speaker 4>it's something that is as nutritious as we can possibly do.

110
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 4>Eight to fifteen items that they can eat over the

111
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 4>weekends to keep them from not going hungry until they

112
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 4>get back to school on Monday.

113
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 3>Deep breakfast wow.

114
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.240
<v Speaker 4>And so you know, and we do every school in

115
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:31.959
<v Speaker 4>Washington County and we have guys that great guys, a

116
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.839
<v Speaker 4>team of guys that goes out and deliver sacks every Thursday,

117
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.160
<v Speaker 4>and I don't know what we do. You know, the

118
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 4>Lord brings us our volunteers and our money, and you

119
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 4>know we turned around and give it right back out

120
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 4>to the people that need it.

121
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.800
<v Speaker 2>No, right now we're in a situation where we could

122
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:50.000
<v Speaker 2>use a little boost here.

123
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, this is the end of the year, you know,

124
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.040
<v Speaker 4>this is this is where you give for the year

125
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.879
<v Speaker 4>and things are taking care of at our place and

126
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.839
<v Speaker 4>you get a text credit or whatever for it. Yeah,

127
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 4>so it's a win win situation. But people doesn't know

128
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 4>unless you tell them, you know, And we've been doing

129
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.120
<v Speaker 4>this for twenty five years, and I can tell you

130
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:14.279
<v Speaker 4>that it's taken more of everybody's money to live, more

131
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 4>for gas, more for groceries. You know, our children are grown,

132
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:20.519
<v Speaker 4>but I can't imagine having three and four kids at

133
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 4>home and trying to feed them, trying to go to

134
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.560
<v Speaker 4>all their stuff. And I'm still going to grandkids stuff.

135
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.160
<v Speaker 4>But you know, it costs every time you get in

136
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.199
<v Speaker 4>the door to watch a ball game, and that comes

137
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 4>out of something.

138
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:30.720
<v Speaker 1>You know.

139
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 3>And so.

140
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:36.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's exactly right, and so our giving numbers and

141
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.040
<v Speaker 4>every no, it's not just us, it's every nonprofit in town.

142
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:43.959
<v Speaker 4>You're our donations are down due to the fact that

143
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 4>people it's costing more to live, and when it costs

144
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 4>more to live, you don't have that disposable income that

145
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.160
<v Speaker 4>you you know, oh, I'd like to give twenty five

146
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 4>dollars to a gopy or one hundred dollars or whatever.

147
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 5>Huh.

148
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.639
<v Speaker 4>And so we're all feeling it, and so we just

149
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.040
<v Speaker 4>try to come out here and remind people, Hey, a

150
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:06.000
<v Speaker 4>Gopy's still here. We're still doing more, feeding more people,

151
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.199
<v Speaker 4>you know, because people go, oh, well, you know, even

152
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.319
<v Speaker 4>after twenty five years, I still have people go, do

153
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.920
<v Speaker 4>we really have that many hungry people? I don't have

154
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.439
<v Speaker 4>as many anymore because now they see them walking all

155
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 4>over town.

156
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.519
<v Speaker 3>You know, I don't have as many as I used to.

157
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:21.800
<v Speaker 4>But you know, we did a survey a couple of

158
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 4>years ago, and we've used it at empty bowls. But

159
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, twenty six percent of the people that we

160
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 4>feed every day doesn't even have working utilities. That means

161
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.160
<v Speaker 4>they don't have water, they don't have gas, they don't

162
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:34.759
<v Speaker 4>have electric, they.

163
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 3>Just have a roof over there.

164
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.079
<v Speaker 4>At eighty four percent of the people that we serve

165
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.839
<v Speaker 4>every day make under one thousand dollars a month. Now

166
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.800
<v Speaker 4>one thousand dollars doesn't go near what it used to

167
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 4>go a few years ago, but it under one thousand

168
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:54.759
<v Speaker 4>dollars a month, and that's SSI or Social Security. Seventy

169
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.079
<v Speaker 4>two percent of the people we feed it says that

170
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.600
<v Speaker 4>they have no money for food, and they have no

171
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.639
<v Speaker 4>food at home and no money to go buy any

172
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:06.639
<v Speaker 4>Fifty six percent said that they wouldn't need.

173
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:07.759
<v Speaker 3>If it wasn't for a copy.

174
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:09.160
<v Speaker 5>I believe that, you know.

175
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.439
<v Speaker 4>So we know that we're making a difference every day.

176
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.079
<v Speaker 4>We just want to make everybody awhere. We're still here.

177
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.680
<v Speaker 4>We're you know. I don't like to hand people for money.

178
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 4>I don't like to be held in for money, you

179
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 4>know what I'm saying, And so I limit the time

180
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.079
<v Speaker 4>that I try to put out there. Yeah, we need

181
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 4>money because we always need money. That's a given thing.

182
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.360
<v Speaker 4>If it wasn't for God bringing in the donations and

183
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 4>God blessing you to be able to give, we couldn't

184
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.200
<v Speaker 4>do it. And so we want to be able to

185
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:44.120
<v Speaker 4>tell you you can give all year long, you can give.

186
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.799
<v Speaker 4>At the end of the year, your money goes directly

187
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 4>into to buy food and feed these people. Because if

188
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:55.279
<v Speaker 4>if a copy wasn't here and in the other crisis

189
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:59.879
<v Speaker 4>agencies that help people through these tough times, we would

190
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:05.519
<v Speaker 4>have lots more crime, lots more problems with businesses and

191
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.320
<v Speaker 4>various things than we do now. Oh, I believe that,

192
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, for our for our little town, we are

193
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.039
<v Speaker 4>so blessed to have the nonprofits in our area that

194
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.480
<v Speaker 4>we do in churches, because if it wasn't for the

195
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:21.279
<v Speaker 4>churches and the nonprofits, we'd be in trouble.

196
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 3>Because the world is hurting.

197
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:26.919
<v Speaker 5>It is.

198
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 2>We see it every day and we do and your

199
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:33.480
<v Speaker 2>numbers bear it out there that times are hard. And

200
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:36.480
<v Speaker 2>if you're doing fine, that's great, you're blessed.

201
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 3>You're blessed.

202
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.480
<v Speaker 2>And if you're doing fine enough that you got a

203
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.480
<v Speaker 2>little lever, absolutely, let's see if we can't put that

204
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:47.159
<v Speaker 2>to good use, that's right. And a nice donation, you

205
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:48.480
<v Speaker 2>take that off on your taxes.

206
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:50.919
<v Speaker 5>If you're concerned about that, some people are.

207
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:54.879
<v Speaker 2>Because it comes from the heart, right, But how do
