On Sunday morning, Care-A-Van Ministries was asked to come to the local McDonald's to receive a blessing from the employees there. Kathy Engle, Shift Manager wanted the employyes to learn about giving back to others and being a blessing. The employees all talked about it and thought it would be great to do a food and clothing drive for Care-A-Van Ministries. It really hit home for the employees as one as their employees had lost their home due to a fire awhile back and Care-A-Van Ministries had helped out that family tremendously.
Kathy stated "it was alot of fun and it was interesting to observe what the kids brought in. The kids really got into filling the big stocking and since it was overflowing we had to start loading up the boxes. What is amazing in this story is that Bridget Ohlson, co-founder of Care-A-Van Ministries worked at McDonald's years ago for one of her first jobs. Care-A-Van would like to thank Kathy and all the employees at McDonald's for reaching out and being a blessing to others this Christmas Season.
