Boy Scout Aiden Mackay is shown delivering food he collected for a scouting project to the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry. Aiden made up flyers with suggested food items and passed them out to his school mates. Thanks to his diligence, he received a great response! GREAT JOB, AIDEN! You are making a difference in your community. Aiden is a student at St. Mary’s School in Sterling and the son of Dr. and Mrs. Steven Mackay.
The only way you’re going to reach places you’ve never gone, is if you trust God’s direction to do things you’ve never done.
