It has been a while since I have given an update.

Things are really beginning to ramp up. I have been introduced to a gentleman from the board of Care for the Children by the name of Fred Bohman. Fred has already started making calls on my behalf to get us a building, equipment, funding and more. He believes in what we are doing and is adding to our mission as we speak.

We met this week with another Non-Profit to come up with a solution to process over flow of fresh produce they have to turn away. They don’t process any of the food that they receive. They don’t have the equipment or process to do it.

At the end of the meeting Fred turned to Jim, the gentleman we had been meeting with and asked “So how much food should we expect to receive?” Jim answered “We have no idea because of the daily calls we get, but last year we turned away six million pounds of fresh produce“.

Needless to say my jaw almost hit the floor. I have always said this program is as big as we are willing to take on. I have to admit though, I felt like the chief of police in JAWS in that scene were he’s throwing the chum out of the back of the boat and he sees Jaws for the first time.

“I think we are going to need a bigger boat”!

It looks like our “Headquarters” is going to be in the Provo area. Nothing concrete yet, but that is the direction we are leaning. 2010 is looking like a great year to bless many, many hungry families with fresh fruits and vegetables.

God Bless
