Hungry Folks


We served 133 meals last Tuesday. I can’t remember serving this many meals in the past, other than Thanksgiving two years ago. It seems more and more people are in need. Fortunately, we continue to receive support from some wonderful volunteers. Not only those who show up, but some who prepare food in advance for us. One of our volunteers recently prepared meat loaf for over 100 meals. We added some chicken and vegetables with ice cream for dessert for a meal. Everyone said it was great. One individual told me, as he was leaving, that he had never had this much food at one time. He said that it was especially good for him because he had been hungry all day. We use food to make connections with people. If we can show some compassion for a hungry person then we have the opportunity to present the Gospel to all who have ears to hear.
