June has come and gone, and the warm summer days of July have taken its place. The 5K Run and Golf Tournament were a great success, and we are truly grateful for the support the community gave us for them both. The events will help us to further our programs here at Greenhouse Ministries so that we can better serve others.
This month, we are having a major food drive to restock our food pantry. Previously called the "Generosity in Motion Food Drive," the drive will enable us to help so many families and people in Murfreesboro. With so many people out of work and unable to support their families alone, the food pantry program is more vital than ever.
On July 23rd, we will be having an all day food drive. You can drop off food at Greenhouse Ministries, 410 W. Lytle Street, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and volunteers will be on hand to bring the food into the building. Also, if needed, you will be given a donation form for tax purposes. The food drive will be broadcast continuously all day on Moody Radio, so tune in to listen to our progress!
We need dry goods such as macaroni and cheese, cereals, oatmeal and pasta, and canned goods like meat, fruit and vegetables. All goods need to be non-perishable.
When you drop off a bag of food, you are doing more than feeding a person. You are helping to give them the hope to sustain their lives and keep going, to not give up. So stop by Greenhouse Ministries on July 23rd, and help us to plant HOPE in the 'Boro!
Stay tuned for more details about the "Shoes for Orphan Souls" drive coming up in August!

5K Run SATURDAY!!!!
This weekend is the 2nd Annual "Planting HOPE in the 'Boro" 5K run, and everything has come together so well. Today, we had a fantastic volunteer group stop by to help us stuff the bags for the runners.
We got our t-shirts from The Very Idea and they look fantastic! We've also had about 61 people signed up as of today, and while that number isn't quite our goal of 250, it is still a good number, and we are very grateful for them. We also are very grateful for all of our prize donors this year.
With the economy still in a turn for the worse, we understand that businesses are low on funds, and that makes their generosity appreciated that much more. Without our business partners, we could not make the 5k a success.
So to all the runners and our business partners, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Running for HOPE!
It is now the month of June, and that means the 2nd Annual "Planting HOPE in the 'Boro" 5K run is only weeks away! Through the kindness of our runners and business partners, we are able to help so many people. By signing up to be a runner, you help us to "Plant HOPE in the 'Boro" too!
People run for different reasons. Some run because it makes them feel better, some run to stay in shape and some run to work off stress. These are all good reasons, but wouldn't it be great if you could run for HOPE?

When you register to run at Active.com, you are helping improve someone's life. By simply doing something you love, you are a part of the help that lifts a person out of the quagmire they may be stuck in, and sets them on a new path.
Registration is $20 in advance, and registration the day of the race is $25. Pre-registration guarantees a shirt from the event, and registering the day of cannot guarantee a shirt.
We would love for you to sign up to run in our 5K! It's okay if you don't think you could do the run, too! We have a Family Fun 1-Mile walk for those not up to running the 5K, and there will be fun activities, entertainment, and prizes too! Run for HOPE and know that you are making a difference!
