Canning Hunger thru Neighborhood Connections- Canning Hunger

MUST SEE VIDEO!!!

Pastor Larry Stratton - Christ Community Church St. Charles, Illinois

A dual-goal strategy to fight local hunger

while meeting your neighbors under the best of conditions

Here’s Why It Works

It works because it enables you to connect with your neighbors naturally by simply inviting them to help serve hungry kids and their families in their own community. Some people call this comfortable, non-threatening approach the “the ultimate

ice-breaker."

“Canning Hunger thru Neighborhood Connections" is a strategy that gives us the courage to go from our neighbor's sidewalks to their front door. It finally takes us from "prayer-walking to neighbors-talking.”

Dr. Paul Cedar / Chairman - Mission America

Here’s How It Works

Visit approximately 10 of your closest neighbors and ask them to share one or more non-perishable food items from their cupboards to help fight hunger right where they live. What could be easier?

Here’s What Happens Immediately

You learn new names of people who live within walking distance of your own front door. You increase the name recognition of your church in your community. You learn of needs that you or your church can serve. You have a very real impact on hunger right where you live.

"I've been doing this for two years. I now know dozens of my neighbor's names and they know me by name. "Canning Hunger thru Neighborhood Connections" gives you the perfect reason to intentionally converse with your neighbors.

Candace R. - Church Volunteer in California

Here’s Where the Food Goes

All the food stays in the community where it's collected. It's then distributed through your own church pantry, an agency that your church supports, or the agencies in your community that are experts at getting the food to those who need it the most.

"I know every item of food I collect makes a difference to the needy in our community. That makes me feel good, it makes my neighbor feel good, it makes the distribution group feel good, and it makes a family near-by feel good. How can you not want to do that?"

Jan B. Outreach Director in North Carolina

Here's How Things Change

Once friendships have formed and you continue to pray for and talk with your neighbors about their dreams and needs, real relationships build, real trusts begin to grow, and real doors open leading to opportunities to invite them to church, to an event, a small group, or a backyard BBQ.

“Wouldn’t it be incredible if your neighbors, over a period of time, began to share with you their needs, dreams, and spiritual desires? That happens with "Canning Hunger thru Neighborhood Connections.”

Bruce Wilkinson /Author - “Prayer of Jabez”

Here's The Good News

As those relationships grow naturally, they often lead to opportunities to effectively share the Gospel.

“While prayer and fasting remain the foundation of spiritual revival, we come to a point where we must boldly and lovingly share the Gospel. "Canning Hunger thru Neighborhood Connections" paves an incredible path for the messenger.” -

Dr. Bill Bright (1921-2003) Founder of Campus Crusade for Christ
