So many lives were touch this day!

Impacting our Community
I’m sure
everyone has something to be
thankful for this year and in the month of
November, we get a change to eat a once a
year feast and celebrate with family to
share all of our thanksgivings. Most of us
anyways...
Loves and Fishes x10 president, Robert
Flournoy is at it again! Not wanting to see
anyone go hungry is especially heartfelt
during the holidays.
What a testament to commitment!
From bags of groceries to shoes for
children, Convoy of Hope was able
to accomplish its purpose…
L & F x10 is partnering with Civic Center
Barrio Housing Corporation for their very 1st
collaborative effort food drive to feed over 200
families a Thanksgiving dinner!
Robert Flournoy, President/CEO
CCBHC’s desire to provide a holiday meal for
their own tenants was stunted by this large task.
CCBHC asked L & F x10 to assist and the
dream is well on its way to become a reality.

The Original Manassero Farms,
Dan Manassero
The Original
Manassero
Farms is closed
for the season,
crops are slowly
germinating in
that rich soil
awaiting harvest in early
2014! Can’t wait!
Volunteers young and old...Huge
thanks COH for making it happen:)
During this seedtime, Dan Manassero gets
best use out of his space by leasing his lot.
On the lot again this season is “The Enchanted Pumpkin Patch” with Diana Duncan, owner and Garry Shammah, manager.
Both have been operating the best pumpkin
patch in Irvine for 3 years in a row! Come
on down and visit! They’ll also be having
wonderful Christmas Trees very soon!
Orange County Produce, L.L.C leases over
100 acres of working farmland at the Great
Park in Irvine.
In addition to A.G. Kawamura’s already
busy schedule, he works collaboratively
with one of The Great Park’s outreach programs. There is a designated field called
the “VALOR” Field (Veteran’s Agricultural Learning - Opportunities and Resources) for vegetable crops that are harvested for local food banks.
This lot is set up to provide veterans hands
-on training for possible future employment in the farming
industry while having a direct relationship to the farm
and those receiving
the produce. We
think this is great
asset to the commuA.G. Kawamura
nity!
Partnering Organizations
Templo Calvario Church
Santa Ana California
Templo Calvario church is where
Loaves and Fishes x10 president,
Robert Flournoy calls home. There
is some genuine compassion shared
each and every time this church
gives their time to a project that
Loaves and Fishes x10 is doing.
Not only is the love of Christ and
their neighbors shown through the
giving of their time. Support of one
of its members speaks volumes to how this body functions as a unit.
We all want to feel a sense of belonging in our community. A base to go to regain focus and
strength. Our president is no different. We’re so glad for all of the support “TC” gives to its
family:) What a wonderful group of individuals setting the standard in good values.
Picture of the Month
Back in Time
I love this place!
Before he could shave his face…
Forget the Nintendo
Kids young and old come out to help glean with Loaves and Fishes
x10. In my experiences regardless of the person’s, age or affiliation,
getting back to the basics touches something in each one of us. Man
and his relationship with nature.
With the advent of electronics, not only do we have total access, we in
addition move at a pace that leaves us exhausted without any physical component. Let’s change that! Come on out, get your hands
dirty and exert yourselves while supporting a wonderful cause:)
Back in the day…
hard work did not have an age limit
We’ve come a long way,
made great strides
Again and always THANK YOU
to all the wonderful volunteers for make such a big difference in the lives of
those in our community!
