Beef n Bun Give Back Day / Workday
I just learned that the Memorial Mustang Outreach Bunch is sending 11 volunteers to the event tomorrow from 12-5pm at Beef n Bun (8155 Longpoint Rd)! That will be more volunteers than we have had at any of our workdays! What a blessing! Come out and show your support. We need some volunteers to help shadow the students, show them the process, and help tell the story of Chain Reaction Ministries!
Pay it Forward,
David

National Night Out in Kashmere Gardens
AWESOME! There is no other word to describe it. There were three key points that I left with:

2) There is a great need for basic transportation in Kashmere Gardens.
3) They give because they love to give. It is part of their being. It is not because someone told them to,…
