GLEANERS

This is a video I produced a couple of weeks ago for our year-end service highlighting the various things Willow Creek supported in 2008. The Gleaners are an amazing group of people and the Food Pantry is an amazing place.

In fact, a years ago, I had a chance to experience their amazing-ness first hand. When I moved downtown Chicago in 2004, I didn’t have enough money for food after I had paid my first month’s rent. As a result, I ended up at the Willow Creek Food Pantry. For those first two months, all my meals came from the food The Gleaners had gleaned.

I stand amazed as I consider the fact that I am now working for the church that literally fed me when I had nothing to eat.
