"We saw the need," Pastor Wendell Brown said of the day of helping.

"It used to be about giving gifts and toys and other items, but the people said what they really needed was food," Brown said."So we streamlined it down to this."
By noon, Brown said 189 families averaging six people per family received food baskets.
"We've seen a lot of large families come in today.It's getting bigger and bigger each year.
"What's bothering me is will we run out," Brown said."We don't want to send anyone home hungry.At the end of the day I'll be tears if we do."
Pastor Brown's wife, Tarita, is hoping it won't come to that.
"We have enough for about 202 families," she said.
