So I was looking at the new catalog and found something I didn't expect. Words of inspiration on Round Up from the Heart.

"I was once a face of hunger. Before starting my Pampered Chef business, I had lost everything - my car, furniture, family heirlooms and personal savings. I had nothing to eat and no idea how to get help. A close friend saw I was losing weight and visited a food pantry to stock my kitchen. Without this help, I'm not sure I would have survived."

I am going to e-mail this to a contact from a fair who is going through a very hard time, both family-wise and financially. She made her situation sound very dire. My church has a food pantry and I am a coordinator of it. Perhaps there is a way we can help her.
 
omg, i read this when i was looking through the catalog at NC. i was so shocked! what an inspirational story to share at my shows.
