Our newest Community Grocery is one week old today and already has over 300 members, with over 116 new Community Grocery members signing up in just one day – our biggest launch ever!
As people have come in store to access affordable food in South Bank, we’re already seeing God do incredible things.
One of the new members the team have been getting to know since launch day is Dayna*. She’s experiencing homelessness and came into the grocery with her boyfriend to get some support. As she signed up as a member with the grocery team, they were able to bless Dayna with a free shop from a pay-it-forward donation they received that day. Dayna said, ‘I’ve never felt so much warmth and love.’
That day, Dayna also got to meet the team from Eden South Bank who invited her along to The Open Well church for their Tuesday event where everyone is welcome for a free meal, some worship time and to hear a testimony from one of the team about what God has done for them. That week, Dayna and her boyfriend came along, heard and experienced God’s love for them and they both gave their lives to Jesus there and then! How incredible!
