Has anyone noticed that old eyesore of a church building behind the fire department in ashley. Man whoever got that has really fixed it up. New roof New siding and i have driven by and they have a large group of people attending there now. I just thought that was good as i heard not long ago the town was considering tearing it down

Wonder why no one ever comments on a positive thread. Something that is actually doing good in our community. I hear they are starting a food bank already in that place

I can't speak for others Paslone, but when I read your posting I was happy to hear of the news.

An old church building being fixed up and brought back to life is certainly good news for the community. I'm double glad to hear your news about the food bank being started there.

I don't live in the Ashley area so I had nothing to offer to the discussion on a community level?

I wanted to post that because of all the negativity Ashley gets about it's polotics. To my knoledge there is no food bank in ashley and for those folks to have rebuilt that old place and already putting in a food bank i think is awesome. Everything in ashley is not bleak

Everything in ashley is not bleak

I agree.
There is always light further down the road.

I am with Helen though, I was happy to hear, but I don't know anything more than that, and had nothing productive to offer to the conversation.

It is a great idea. The reason I did not respond was because I have never gone past the church and felt I would not have much to contribute.

Great idea!!

The place is at 124 Hobart ST. Right behind the fire department. Im going to take a bunch of food and donate it. Im sure they would apreciate food donations if any of the good people on the fence post would like to help

[Mrs.Slotz]

when can we drop off the food?

[paslone]

Im not sure. I will have to do some checking but i will get back to you

This is just a short story I decided to share.

A few years ago, I noticed an elderly gentleman that would be in the same gas station I go to every morning before work. He was shivering cold, he did not have a warm coat at all. He looked tired and worn.
He had a hard time walking. He would be buying canned cat food and dog food and bread and milk.
He had a hard time paying for it all, ie, he would be counting out his change.
The lady at the gas station told me that he does not have enough strength to shop at a grocery store and that he eats the canned dog and cat food.

I can not imagine ever eatting it, but, this man, learned to like it.
I decided to follow him home one morning.
Come to find out, he lived on 427 and I came home and hubby and I decided to do something nice for him.
We went to Walmart and Kroger and bought over 200 dollars worth of groceries. Everything you could imagine. I found a nice coat in the closet and a nice warm blanket that we were going to take him as well.

We boxed it all up and I just wanted to leave it on his front porch. Did not want to embarrass him at all.
Well, the day we dropped it off. He happened to walk outside.
I said, Hello, We are here to drop some goodies off for you.
He was very surprised and at the same time happy.
He said, Why Thank you, Who should I thank.
I said, Sir, You can Thank Jesus. Have a wonderful day and Merry Christmas.
He never knew who we were.

I hope that we all can find someone that we can help.
They do not even have to know who we are.

Do It, Just Do it.
It will make you feel so much better. It brings you closer to, "the higher power"

Mrs Slotz when we do good deeds for someone whenever possible we should try to do them unnoticed. That way God gets all the glory

If you noticed, we tried.
That is why we said it was a gift from God.
