A Little Help During Hard Times

Things are tough right now, especially if you are a construction worker living in Henry County. Only a year or so ago Henry County was a booming county with contractors begging for workers. Today, the hammers are all but silent and many construction workers are wondering where their next meal will come from.

Brande Bradford Finishes Unloading

We decided to step in and offer a little help through the Community Bible Church Local Out-Team. Sunday, Chris, along with Brande's daughters Amanda and Jennifer spent the afternoon loading up a ragged horse trailer with hundreds of cans of food, more than twenty 50 lb. bags of rice, and bags and bags of noodles. Tuesday evening, Chris and Brande delivered the food to Helping in His Name Ministries, in Stockbridge Georgia.  Locally, they are usually simply referred to  as "The Food Pantry".

The Food Pantry usually operates as a stop-gap program providing food to those waiting for food stamps or other assistance to kick in. Often they also supply supplemental food to the elderly, families, and single parents.

A horse trailer load of food won't help many for very long, but if it gets just a few through hard times it was more than worth the effort. If you have some extra non-perishable food laying around or have a little time to spend as a volunteer, The Food Pantry could use your help.

Home Marketing Time at 12 Month High

You may notice a slight change in the December, 2007 numbers. My flash drive was destroyed (Wal-Mart parking lot in Mt. Vernon, IL â€" Don't ask.) and I had to re-do all of my numbers. I did find some errors in last years numbers.

Sale prices for Clayton, Henry and Fayette Counties, Georgia for January 2008 was mixed. We had expected this, but had hoped for better. Fayette County was down a gnat's breath, Clayton County was down a bit, and Henry County was up a bit. It seems there is no stabilization yet and certainly no start of a recovery.
