A WORD FROM JAY

Hi - I'm Jay Dyer and the desire to meet this need began for me when, as a resident of a disabled community, I was finding that cost of living expenses were increasing to the point that it was becoming difficult to buy groceries. Because of my connections in the community, including Christian Help in Casselberry, we were able to begin supplying the residents of my complex with weekly food drops. There began to be interest from others in neighboring complexes, and it birthed a desire in me to do more. Along with my friends, Dave McDaniel, Jack McDaniel and C. (Smitty) Smith, we endeavor to expand this outreach to more and more needy people. Heaven's Grocer now serves 145 individuals and families in the Central Florida area on a weekly basis and is continuing to expand.

Our primary food sources are Christian Help and Fresh Start Ministries. Heaven's Grocer receives financial support from The Church of the Resurrection, Winter Park; 1st United Methodist, All Saints Episcopal Church, Kiwanis Club, the Galloway Foundation and the Edyth Bush Foundation as well as many other individuals.

We continue to need additional donors to support this service to the disabled, eldely and needy in our area. Please consider making a contribution to Heaven's Grocer!

If you find that your facility or organization can use our services, please schedule an appointment with me, Jay Dyer, by calling (407) 733-3332, and I will discuss adding your location to our route.

More Need in Winter Park....

Dear friends and supporters of Heaven’s Grocer,

Many blessing to everyone, God is working mightily in so many ways. We recently received the opportunity to serve a new community in Winter Park. The Meadows is a low income family oriented apartment with two hundred and fifty residents, of which over half are children. We have just added 10 families to the list of people served by Heaven’s Grocer! And growing as the word gets around. We also have two new volunteers Eva and Carrie both who live in The Meadows, thank you so much Ladies!

We are also very encouraged by the doors God is opening for funding sources… More later.

Your servant,
Deacon Jay Dyer
