"When I was Hungry, You Fed Me"

We had an awesome time passing out lunches to our friends on the streets.  We have been trying to raise support in order to feed the homeless on Sundays.  The service center that used to provide dinners everyday of the week is not doing it on weekends any longer.  We recently had a couple of women volunteer to raise the money and make the lunches for one Sunday.  Kayleen mentioned several times how much fun they had making the lunches.  It was exciting to us to have people who enjoyed doing this for our friends.  We love these people so much.  One special thing that the homeless enjoyed was Kayleen's 5 year old who made little pictures for all 100 lunches.  It made the lunches personal and special to them.  Everyone of them mentioned how sweet it was that she would do this for them.  THANK YOU, EMMA!!  YOU ARE A SPECIAL LITTLE GIRL!

We would like to make this an ongoing project for each Sunday afternoon.  We would love to raise enough money to feed the homeless each week.  The week that was provided for cost $1.60 for each lunch.  Providing 100 lunches would cost $160.  This would consist of two sandwiches, bottled water, chips, fruit, and a dessert.  Please let us know if you want to start giving for this.  You could give for a partial amount, one Sunday, one Sunday a month, or whatever the Lord lays on your heart.  This gives us an opportunity to share more love, friendship, time, and food for our people who are hungry each weekend.
