Dear friends and supporters of Heaven’s Grocer,
I hope everyone's summer has been richly blessed! We have had a lot of exciting and divine things take place. In June we added “The United Church of God by Faith” as a new partner in providing food to the Winter Park community. With many blessings from Pastor Alvin, we will be assisting them in providing food for 25 to 30 families (approximately 150 people) in the area! A special thanks to the wonderful ladies from the Mary Martha Bible study class at the First United Methodist of Winter Park for their $100 donation! The donation will be used for our food pantry closet that supplies toiletries and paper goods at the Oaks Apartments in Winter Park! Thank you so much ladies!
The first few weeks of July have been very eventful and exciting as well! Heaven’s Grocer received a $7,500 grant from the Galloway Foundation. We would like to graciously thank them for their donation and ongoing support! Praise God!
Heaven’s Grocer has also received a request from Berea Haitian Mission Church, a First United Methodist Church, in order to assist them in serving their community. We are excited to have the opportunity to partner with them! May the Lord truly use us as his servant.
Rev. J. Dyer
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.
