The Torch

I am hoping, if you haven't had a chance to sign up for our Paddle Auction - which is the ONLY fundraiser we hold each year - you will take this moment to do so! It is really a fun evening of fellowship and laughter with lots of awesome Torch family members! Or maybe you just want to sponsor? You can follow the link for either!

Good Morning! On any morning, my brain can be going in a hundred directions. One of the cool things about that, is that I have met so many amazing and talented individuals in this journey, that I can always think of someone to help with each of those hundred things. The Torch is about growing a family of talented people all doing their talented things to make the world better for others! I just love being part of it.

Good Morning, Family! We will have groceries available soon - from 12-2. Please, feel free to let others know. It's going to be such a glorious August Wednesday!

Oh man! I was just thinking how much I love it that my grandkids all love to read! I do too! It's my unwind activity. Novels. Usually mysteryor spy or some kind of adventure.

Good Morning! I'm always hopeful that I can find ways to change the world. I know I can't impact the whole world for everyone, but at least I can do what I can do to change the world around me. I know this Torch family is doing that - and it's something to celebrate!

Did you know, The Torch continues to exist because of a lot of people who care are willing to be regular donors to support our mission. A bonus of being a monthly donor is you can stop in for a free Baker’s Dozen cookies of the month every month!!!!! Also, we use our funds to help others. That’s it. Food. Help. Dignity. Love.

You can make a one-time donation or set up monthly donations here: mobiletorch.org/donate.html

Happy Happy Monday! When I get my day started, I often try to think about the things that give me hope - faith, the belief that we can make life better for others, and the proof from everything that has happened.

This beauty was busy Wednesday - first, she provided groceries at the building; second, she brought the pies over to the Fowlerville Family Fair / Fowlerville Agricultural Society for the Torch 180 and Open Class Pie Eating Contest, then she went out into neighborhoods yesterday evening delivering groceries! We are so blessed!

Good Morning! I have been blessed to be with so much family this week. We are people who need people. We are people who need community. Too often, in this society, we forget that. You know, the rugged individualism thing we tend to push. But, it's okay to care about others. And it's okay to help.
