Monday, October 31, 2011, marked the 494th anniversary of Martin Luther nailing his 95 Theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg, Germany. To celebrate this day, Hartland College teamed with the Orange Seventh-day Adventist church to collect food so needy families may enjoy a delicious and nutritious Thanksgiving Day meal.

At 5:35 PM, two 15-passenger vans and two 7-passenger minivans with 43 students and four staff descended on the town of Orange. Within two hours, 378 Last Generation magazines were hung on doors knobs, and 45 bags of food for the needy were collected. We give God thanks for the 12 percent of families in our target area participating in the food drive.

Orange County Social Services is providing us with the names of six families with whom we can share the blessings of the food drive. Please pray for this project and for the 400 plus families in Orange who are out of work.
