Happy Easter from the Master Provisions team! We pray you are reminded this week of God's great love for each of us. May this season of renewal bring you hope and joy. You are so loved.
You're Invited to MP's Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting Celebration
Thursday, May 14th
Join us to tour the facility, network with community members who are passionate about feeding the hungry across Greater Cincinnati, and celebrate! Light refreshments will be available - please RSVP to help us plan. Ribbon cutting programming is at 3:00pm, but an open house will follow immediately afterward. We hope to see you there, even if you can't come right at 3:00!
March was filled with the most incredible volunteer groups, food drives, special guests, and student leaders. His Heroes groups joined us from Cooper, Ryle, Lloyd, and Beechwood, and Jupiter Christian School students joined us all the way from Florida! We got to host students from local schools all over Northern KY, a group of NKY pastors, and even a few Chosen cast members this month! We are so grateful for the incredible support system God has provided.

We have seen heightened interest in partnership so far this year and love meeting new nonprofits in our region! Since January, we have onboarded 18 new partner agencies, which is a huge blessing. The significant increase in requests for resources reflects a true community need, and we are so grateful God allows Master Provisions to be part of His plan to meet those needs.
With continuously increasing need comes demand for more food and resources. Pray with us for God to stock our resource center with everything our agency partners need to continue serving their communities well!
If you are with a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and need food, become a partner here.

Boone Links Golf & Event Center
Come enjoy a day of fellowship, golf, and making a difference together. Snag one of the last 5 foursomes today. $600 buys four people's round of golf (cart included), breakfast, lunch, and a gift. You won't want to miss this!
Your neighbors are struggling — maybe you are, too. When you're hungry, a single meal can be the spark of hope you need to keep moving forward. If we each give a little, together we sustain the work needed to rescue and redistribute food, unite our community, and nourish those who need it most.
In our region, 1 in 7 people are facing hunger. Yet small acts of generosity can make a big impact. A gift of just $24 a month — less than what many spend on one takeout meal — can provide over 850 meals a year for local families. Imagine the difference when hundreds of us join together, each giving what we can. Thousands of neighbors in Greater Cincinnati will have enough to eat. This community is doing big things - join us!

There's a popular story about a little boy who made a wooden boat. It took him days of hard work, and when it was completed he was so proud that he took it out to play in the stream and see how it floated. But a strong wind and current pulled it away from him. He chased it from the bank, but it wasn't long before it disappeared from view. He desperately searched for it until dark but eventually had to give up and go home broken-hearted.
A few days later, the boy passed by a thrift store and was surprised to see his boat in the window! He ran in and excitedly told the manager that the boat was his but was told that he would need to buy it back if he wanted it. He rushed home to gather his money and get back to the store, thrilled to discover that he had just enough. As he walked home clutching his boat to his chest, he joyfully said, "Now you're twice mine. First, I made you, and then I bought you back."
It gives me chills to read it. Because that's OUR story. The Easter story. Not about eggs or bunnies or even a fancy feast. It's a story about the One who lovingly created us. Who paid the ultimate price to buy us back. And what a beautiful reminder... we are twice His.
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 (NIV)
God bless you. Thank you for your continued prayers and support. We are so grateful God chooses to use each of us to be part of the work He is doing across the tristate!

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 (NIV)
