As we start the New Year, I was thinking of how many people that helped us last year and the meals reported each week. It really adds up, but the most important number is not reported each week. That is the number that accept Christ and mentored by one of the volunteers, the many people that receive funds to help them keep their lights or heat on. How many that are driven to detox or put in a room for the night due to illness or provided a coat or a blanket for a cold night. The really important numbers many not be reported but they are the most important because they represent lives of people that are in need. So even though we report each week on meals served and volunteer hours, that is not the most important numbers.
With that said, last week we served 146 meals with the assistance of 18 volunteers.
