The Gift Goes On

Earlier this year the food service company that serves Wheaton College, Bon Appetit, did an extensive remodel and upgrade to its service on campus.  Part of the change there was to get new dishes.  The old dishes were then graciously donated to HoneyRock, and we are putting to use what we can but have more than we need.

This past week the staff from Camp Daniel came to tour our kitchen and learn more about our food service system.  Camp Daniel is a unique place; their mission is "Bringing God's Love to People with Disabilities."  Based in Athelstane, WI, Camp Daniel serves hundreds of people with physical and mental disabilities, both young and old,  through an amazing camp ministry program.  Each camper is assigned one counselor--that's right, they have a 1:1 camper counselor ratio!  Camp Daniel is run by hundreds of volunteers and survives on contributions from donors.  They are doing amazing ministry that is changing lives.

During their tour of HoneyRock, Dell Ledbetter, our Food Service Manager, learned that Camp Daniel was in need of new dishes.  So we're donating a bunch of dishes to Camp Daniel this spring. 

We got this thank you note from their camp staff:

Dear Dell,

Thank you so much for your time showing us around and answering our questions.  Thank you for the dishes!  This is just another way that God has provided for us.  It is quite an adventure to live a life of ministry!  When people come on the Camp Daniel grounds, we give them a tour.  Everything has it's own story about how God provided for us and we share that with others.  Now we have a story about the dishes!  You are a part of that, an extension of our ministry.  Thank you for all you do.

Blessings,

From all of us at Camp Daniel
