to those less-fortunate by giving of their time
Our concerned community also came out and helped deliver meals to local seniors and shut-ins. They donated their holiday to help make sure others received a warm meal and a kind word.
Thank you for your support...There are also the untold amount of supporters that helped make all these meals possible by their donations to sponsor a meal. Beginning at just $1.95 to sponsor a meal for one hungry and homeless person, several gave to help feed the homeless and hungry men, women and children at all three of our facilities.
