Today's story is all about being a light to others. Jake Zappa sent us this story and I'm only too glad to share what he wrote us:

On the evening December 24th when most of the community was busy making dinner, going to Church Service and enjoying family time, Tristen and her Ranch Hands at La Crosse spent the night creating "Blessing Bags." These bags used funds set aside for holiday party as well as donations from Ranch Hands themselves.

Over the course of the evening, the team put together 101 bags filled with food, hygiene products, warm clothing, and a free meal at the La Crosse Pizza Ranch.

Chips, Beef sticks, sweet treats, tooth paste and brushes, baby wipes, razors, lip balm, hats, socks, and emergency warming blankets were all packed up and delivered to those in need in the La Crosse Community. During the week of January 1st, La Crosse Pizza Ranch partnered with local homeless outreach program to hand out these bags to those in need.

Tristen and the entire team at the La Crosse Pizza Ranch are truly living out the Pizza Ranch Vision. They took time out of their holiday celebrations to "Glorify God by Positively Impacting the World."
