Join the team! We have partnered with Feeding the Need (formerly Love Thy Neighbor) since October 2020 by providing a plentiful, healthy, and delicious lunch the second Saturday of the month to our homeless community and those less fortunate. At present, we are dropping of the food to Amy and Leslie Ferrer at the parking lot of the Lord Is My Help. You can volunteer once or volunteer every month. You make your schedule. Some volunteers purchase items and donate them for the lunch such as Gatorade; others enjoy cooking and make casseroles; others make "to go bags" which contain non-perishable items such as peanut butter, tuna, chicken salad kit, fruit cups etc.; some donate money and we purchase items and still others come to be supportive of the community just by talking and having fellowship with the community.
We also support the community's physical needs by supplying backpacks, blankets, clothing, shoes, and hygiene items when we have donations or by directly purchasing items in need. In addition, we have supported their Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter dinners by providing food and gifts during Christmas.
