Behind the scenes

                                                   The last soup container of the year going
                                                   out to Africa.  Over 1 million servings
                                                   of soup.
                                         We have a few days off  between seasons so I took
                                          some behind the scenes photos.  This is all the RV
                                          pads with the new 10 plex to the left.
                                                   Everyone took time to write scripture
                                                  on the walls before they get covered.

                                                       View from the deck.
                                         The field is all packed ready for the peach season.
                                        All of this insulation was donated for the 10 plex.
                                       This is what we call the "bone yard". Spare parts and broken
                                         equitment are stored here... the kids love to play airsoft here.

                                                    Donated Gatorade
                                         These are the barrels which have the soup mix in them.

Gleaning for the Hungry. Getting started.

                               Here we are in Kelowna getting some last minute things for the trip.
                               We came to a abrupt stop on the highway, there was a big pile up.
                                Waiting and waiting.
                               We made it to California, how can you tell....
          The homeless church we go to has no building to meet in so we meet outside.
                               It does not mater where you meet if you are preachings Gods word.
                                Doing some clean up to make room to store wood.
                               This old dump truck is still fully functional and used daily.
                               Even when it is overloaded......
                               Oh no, it has a coolant leak, better check where it is coming from........
                                looks like everywhere!
                                Heading to the shop.
                                  
                                The shop
                               The list is starting to grow, so many things to do.
                               The peach plant
                               Some of the repaired trays waiting for the busy peach season.
                                The peach plant.
                               Grace home's girls.  This group of girls are in a halfway house.
                                Most just got out of jail, they come to Gleanings to do community
                                service, they used to hate it.  They hearts have changed so much
                                that it is now the highlight of their week, there new punishment
                                for misbehaving is not being able to come and help.
                                             Rod being Rod.
