The Mills family THANKFUL blog ▪ Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our ...past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. –Melody Beattie

El Dorado Group Prepares Meals For Haiti - KWCH - Kansas News and Weather -
We were able to Package food today for the people in Haiti! So exciting to be apart of such a great volunteer effort. Lines of people waiting to help. When we feel helpless at home watching, it was a great feeling to know in a small way, you can show WE CARE. A group called Numana via the Salvation Army. See the story here: El Dorado Group Prepares Meals For Haiti - KWCH - Kansas News and Weather - If you watch the video you can see that we are packaging (what looks like granola) SOY, VITAMINS, VEGETABLES AND RICE in a ziplock. One bag feeds 6 and there are 36 bags in a case.
When I first heard of of the starving children in Haite (before this devastating earthquake). I was so sad to here that the children were eating mud cakes. Wow we are so fortunate. I would have loved to have brought a bag home and eat what these people will probably view as a gourmet meal.
When they finished the day there were nearly 600,000.00 Meals bagged! WOW
