Saturday night was a great success thanks to each of you! We had 85+
men and women join us for a spectacular thanksgiving meal. The evening
was incredibly smooth-- from the roasting of turkeys to the decorations
to the serving each person that walked in the door. What a blessing!
There were many stories from folks who shared they couldn't
remember the last time they had a dinner like this. Folks felt that
they were indeed our VIP's of the evening and that was definitely the
message we wanted to share.
A couple of highlights... we were able to feed 70+ more people by
taking the left overs which included 2 whole turkeys and all the other
fixings to Nickelsville.
A woman who was having a difficult
evening due to some health issues and being incredibly tired was able
to get into shelter that night.
It was amazing to watch volunteers just step up and assume what
ever role needed to be filled in order to care for these men and
women-- this included two people just stepping up to make sure that
this person was able to get into a safe place for the night.
Thank you for your prayers in preparing the ability for us to hold this important event.
PS-- In December we'll be serving a hot soup lunch to our
homeless brothers and sisters @ our monthly 'To the Streets'. If
you're interested in helping please let me know.
