Proverbs 3:6 "In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths."

1.  Start by asking God to give you direction and wisdom as you start this project.

2.  Set up an appointment with your local food bank director to show him/her the video, tour the facility and develop a relationship there.

3.  Make a list of all local churches across the denominations in your town/city through a google search.

4.  If you know someone in a church, contact your friend to set up an appointment with the pastor.

5.  As you meet with a pastor, show the video, explain the simplicity and value of the project, and sign him up for a month.

6.  repeat this process until all 12 months are covered.  (You can have more than one church in a month.)

7.  Get your materials ready and go!
