A big thank you to everyone who contributed to another successful Sunday Serve. The response from donor, volunteers, and all supporters has been truly amazing,
This past Sunday we served 250 hot meals and gave away 100 care packages filled with food, hygiene products, and other daily essentials. We also distributed lots of clothes and an additional100 tarps.
We met families at the distribution centers. However, since there are people who are unable to travel the team did go directly into some of the neighborhoods to ensure that those people are able to be reached as well. Next week we are focusing on the communities that are more remote and harder for care to access.
The need is so vast and the community members were so grateful. Our team was honored to be able to help even in this small way.
