All About Lynn

The title "All About Lynn" is a bit misleading, but the sincerity is there.  I have only been a part of the Storehouse for less than a month.  But I wanted to take some time to describe Lynn from my eyes.  I have only seen a limited view of who she is, but I believe you will be able to see the qualities that make Lynn uniquely qualified for The Storehouse. 

Her heart was broken when she saw the elderly going hungry because of the shortage of money to cover their food needs after their essentials were paid.  So let's begin with Lynn's heart.  Lynn's heart is one that is is overly compassionate for the needy.  But at the same time, Lynn becomes just as passionate about those who take advantage of what The Storehouse offers the needy. 

Christmas is a special time for Lynn.  I began right as the Christmas Blessings in Boxes sign up was just beginning.  I looked at all the children that were being added to the lists everyday and personally had to wonder about how all these children were going to receive gifts.  As of yesterday, Lynn's list had nearly 390 children from Henderson County on the list.  Can you believe it?  I asked Lynn if she wanted to cut off the list and she said "no, not yet." Her confidence in her donors is based on their desires to help the children who would not have a Christmas. 

Lynn has the ability to be instantly liked.  She is fun, caring and genuine.  She fails to put on airs and that is why so many volunteers love to work at the Storehouse.  She talks with her donors in honest, down to earth ways always asking for special needs to be taken care of.  But Lynn is also blessed by donors who approach her unasked with incredible donations. 

And guess what? All of the blessings are credited to God.  Lynn gives God the credit for all that the Storehouse receives.  It is his hand that has been involved in the Storehouse all along.  She is the willing servant God has chosen to help the needy in Henderson County.

Why do you need to know all about Lynn?  Because if you are not a part of The Storehouse, you are missing out on so many blessings from God.  You need to become a part of the Storehouse as a volunteer or a donor.  The blessings you witness are just a tip of the iceberg going on at The Storehouse. 

Look into becoming a Pantry Partner by donating $30 a month in the 100/30 project.  Volunteer at the Storehouse, become a Christmas donor for Blessings in Boxes, collect food items in your neighborhoods, churches, workplaces and schools, collect monetary donations from your neighborhoods, churches, workplaces and schools, gather a group for work projects or call and ask what the current needs are at the Storehouse.  Come get involved in the Storehouse and find about all about Lynn for yourself.
