North Carolina Baptist Men: Kudos

[MillCreek]

The other day, I watched an episode of 'Modern Marvels' about food trucks of all things.  They did a segment on a truck called Manna One, which is operated by the North Carolina Baptist Men.  I got intrigued, and I did some Googling. 

This organization (and perhaps other Baptist/religious groups in the area of whom I am unaware) do quite the good works in terms of disaster relief and providing medical and dental outreach.  I was really impressed with what I read about them and the good works that they do.

Many religious orgs have DR outreach programs.  The Mennonites, Lutherans, Jews, etc.

The Southern Baptists is one of the largest; right up there with the Red Cross and The Salvation Army.  Look for the yellow caps and their logo.

My father-in-law is part of that NC Baptist Men group.  He heads out with them on all kinds of disaster relief.  SWMBO is quite proud of him.

Yep, most of the big denominations have them. And when I donate, it's often to one of the ones affiliated with my synod.

And, often but I can't speak for all cases, a better percentage of the money goes to actually helping people rather than "administration".

Say what you want about organized religion, but the people involved in those groups do some really great work.  Not sure how many atheist groups value service. Maybe there are a couple of them, but I'm not aware of any.
