Project Feed Jonny


My church has started up a program the last few years, where they encourage us as a community to gather in small groups and grow together/ encourage each other. We call them Life Together Groups, or LTG's.
Usually this looks like a group of about 6-10 families getting together twice a month, basically to "do life together". There are a TON of groups that have been organized, but as of last year there was not a group that I really fit into. This all changed when my friend Steve decided it was about time for the twenty-somethings to gather and be a community. 
So, we have our own LTG now. We've been meeting for almost a year now and have about 9 of us on a consistent basis, and a few floaters.
BUT TO GET TO THE POINT.....
Our friend Johnny is living in Florida plowing through an intense graphic design program.  The program keeps him super busy, so much so that he does not have any time to get a job. (No he's not just a bum :) 
Anyways, he has been living on Ramen noodles for a while, because "food isn't in his budget right now" and he's getting awfully skinny.  
So my LTG decided to send him a couple boxes of food, and stock his pantry. I am gathering everything at my house, and it is overwhelming to see how much we can accomplish when we set out to reach a common goal. 
I'm so excited to send this out to him!
Jonny also has some awesome t-shirts up on etsy that he screen prints from a makeshift "design studio" in a closet in his apartment haha. Check them out! My fave is the bike with a basket in yellow :)
