** Please Help **
As some may have read in my vacation thread...
My fiance Theresa's Uncle operates a food pantry that serves Kankakee county. The pantry feeds an average of 100 families a week. On Labor day night, we recieved a call there was a fire at the new building for the food pantry. The building is now a total loss, along with several large refrigerators (& contents), their equipment, & tools.
If anyone would like to help out, monitary contributions would be the best way to do so.
I would really appreciate if you guys could help out. I would mean alot to Me & Theresa's family.
Donations can be sent to:

Momence, IL 60954
Please Make Checks Payable to: God's Helping Hands
If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them.
Thanks,

Rick, being in the fire protection business, we see sad situations like this all to often. You can count on a donation from me and I'm sure others as well.

Wow RICK, really sorry to hear about this especially when it's directly associated with such a worthy Christian cause! 
You can count on me for a donation also and I would assume that insurance will take care of the major loss associated with the building, equipment, inventory, tools, etc.?
Thoughts and Prayers go out to all affected by this tragedy!

Thank you guys all very much for the support! Yes they had insurance, but at this point I'm not sure what percent will be covered ect...
FYI, donations can be sent to the address I posted or the one in the journal both goto the address I posted as he is having his mail forwarded while he is recovering from his broken leg.
Thanks,
