Truck Drivers receive Blessing Bags
from Amherst: Asbury UMC

Truck drivers have been deemed essential workers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Amherst-Asbury UMC has delivered over 700 blessing bags to truckers during this time. In the bags are snacks, candy, drinks, prayer squares, handmade crosses, etc. They pass them out at truck stops where truckers stop to rest. It is a thank you to them for keeping us supplied and fed at risk to themselves. Some of them have told Asbury's outreach team that they have trouble finding places to eat and the bag's contents has been their meal!!
 
Some of the truckers have reached out to Asbury to say thank you...and some have even donated to the cause! Many have renewed their faith in God. For example, one trucker got a flat tire and had to pull over and that's when he received the blessing bag. The blessing bag made him cry because he said he's not very religious but knows God is with him and getting the blessing bag proved it. He couldn't say thank you enough.
