Feeding hungry folks on both sides of the border, Thank you to those involved. You know who you are and A very beautiful thing is done now.
This is a good thing and glad I fell into this and I was helped by some very good folks on here. As you know I won the last Throwdown. And the story is already on here . So not telling that again other than it helped or is about to some folks that can really use it in a Small church in Texas. That does this and I am glad I could help out in some way.
Mainly because my prize could not cross the border.
Now a few days after that all came about, I received an email from a member to tell me about what a few ( 4 that I know about, and there may be more ) got together and did for me, and I was shocked and really did not know what to say about what they did. I stepped away for a bit to take this in, and try to understand why.
They explained and I got it , and will say again a very big thank you. And it will be put to some very good smoking.
They found a place very close to me that has a Web Meat selling site, that sells " USDA Prime Beef " and " Brant Lake Wagyu "
And they gave me a Very nice Gift card for this place. And it all looks great on their web site.
So because of this and how I felt about what they did and it took me a bit to accept this great gift, I was going to donate part of it to the same idea here in my area.
Now don't get me wrong I want to try some of this meat that I did not think I could get around here or would never buy myself. But when I saw the pricing it really would not be the kind of help I wanted to do for this foundation. I wanted it to help for a few meals over a few days at their needs.
So I went to Local store and picked up enough for maybe a week or so of meals.
I told them the story about how it all came about , and then the tears started to flow . I gave them the option of taking part of the gift card worth of meat from the Web store or I could just go and Pick up a bunch of meat. She was more then happy for the lesser quality and bigger quantity.
Here is what I picked up today on my way in town from work
This is at their kitchen today
They were very happy, 10 Boneless Pork loins, 3 big Hams and 2 - 10 pound single grind ground beef. Does not seem like a lot , but much more than the other way.
They wanted to take my picture with the cook and the meat, because it helps them to get more donations if they can post it on their site. I declined my picture and my name but said I understand about the advertising of donations that it would help, so I said
Do this donation in " Memory of My Brother in-law Gary Shand " who passed away last month. And they said it would be on site very soon.
The place is called " Souls Harbour Rescue Mission "
These folks do food / meals at all the locations , a meal , no questions asked . Everyone has a story , some are worse than others. These people feed as many as they can each day with a smile and an ear. And no questions asked.

So That is what I did on this side of the border and it makes me feel a lot better about the gift that was given to me .
From the very kind and caring people on this site , I am just blown away at how all you people help others and the big thing, is how big the hearts are for other people we only know from texts or conversations , and maybe never ever meet .
Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you ! I hope you are ok with what I did because of your generosity.
I will leave it up to the folks that did this to chime in if you want , but that is up to you.
You know what I think of you all.
And you are still on my Christmas list.
Now many hungry people will have a warm meal to help with their day.
Thank you for your time
