Dear Friend,

At REAL Life Community Services, we witness every day how a simple bag of groceries can offer relief, dignity, and hope to families in need.

As we gear up for our First Friday Food Drive, we warmly invite you to join us in a meaningful way—by helping us fill our shelves for the coming month.

This month, we have a special need for:

• Soy Sauce

• Worcestershire Sauce

• Olives (avoid glass)

• Cream of Cheese Soup

• Unseasoned Bread Crumbs

• Cream of Chicken and/or mushroom

• Baked Beans

• Ramen Noodles

• Hamburger Helper type meals

• Pudding cups

• Mini Marshmallows

• Tuna – 5 oz or 2 oz cans

• Toilet Paper

• Dish soap

• Laundry soap

• Tissues

• Paper Towels

• Body Wash

These donations go directly to individuals and families in our community striving to move forward but who need a little extra support right now.

How to Give:
You can drop off your donations during our First Friday Food Drive from 3 pm-5 pm at our Warehouse916 on July 3rd. Warehouse916 is located behind the Declaration House at 240 Main St. Denver, PA 17517.

If you can't drop items off at that time, please email marybeth@reallcs.org to arrange a convenient time for donations, and for larger contributions, we're happy to pick them up from your collection site!

Attached is a flyer to display at your business or add to a church program if you felt led.

Every item you give is more than just food—it reassures someone that they are not alone.

Thank you for being part of a community that shows compassion and care. We hope you have a Happy Fourth of July!

With gratitude,
Robyn Iordanescu

Fwd: A pair of sneakers drew his heart to God

God knows our clients' hearts and is moving in their lives every day.

Greetings! Scripture tells us in Psalm 34:7, “Delight yourselves in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” It's a true blessing to watch the Lord pour out His love on our clients as they draw near to Him. Recently, a young dad was shopping with his girlfriend in one of our Baby Boutiques. They were enrolled in our parenting classes and had earned CARE Cash to purchase baby supplies. The dad said, “Oh man, I hope they have Adidas sneakers for our little boy. And I hope they’re orange!” To which the young mom said, “Well, we should probably get things that are much more practical than that." But sure enough, as they walked through our boutique, a brand new pair of bright orange Adidas sneakers were perched on the shelf. The young dad grabbed them and could barely contain his excitement. The couple's client advocate has had gospel conversations with this man, and he said he believes in God but doesn’t have a personal relationship with Him. But the orange Adidas got his attention. He said, “I can tell God is trying to get through to me.” We know that God is trying to get through to him, and we invite you to pray with us that this father soon understands the gospel and places his trust in Jesus as his personal Savior and Lord. God grants our clients the desires of their hearts in all kinds of ways—both great and small—through support from friends like you. To come alongside more young parents, championing life and the gospel with us, you can give here. Thank you to all of the fathers who do their best every day to reflect our Heavenly Father’s love. We hope you had a wonderful Father's Day and pray that God grants you and your families the desires of your heart as you draw near to Him. In the powerful, life-saving name of Jesus, Lisa Hosler President DONATE
