Yesterday I had the privilege of standing before the members of A Co 1/145th AVN REGT to thank them for doing something truly awesome. These proud and capable young men and women collected enough food from our published list to put together 54 more Emergency Food Boxes! Their timing could not have been better. Our supplies of Emergency Food Boxes go up and down with supply and demand. The last time we got low, the Crossroads family responded in remarkable fashion and in no time we had an abundance of resources. But as we turned the corner into the holiday season, things were getting slim.
Enter A Co 1/145th AVN REGT (called "The Anvils", because they forge the future of Army Aviation): as part of their class project to dig in and serve the community, last night they brought pickup truck loads of emergency food supplies right off our list to the Annex! Crossroads - and those served by this important food ministry - received the benefit of their generosity, and we couldn't be more grateful! Thank you again!! My prayer is that in 2011 we continue grow in our deep connection to the military community at Fort Rucker, serving those attending flight school and those who support the mission, and working together to serve others!
FYI: Last night....Santa wore BDU's!
