About This Cause
We measure our impact when we see around 1000 free fot food boxes being delivered to the needy during every Sunday service. We deliver food directly to the homeless as volunteers take the food to them. Also, we offer drive through for anyone wanting a decent free meal. We also provide groceries and seasonal needs like sleeping bags, blankets. There is not even a single Sunday where do not end up having tears in our eyes while serving the needy. 1. Once we were delivering food to homeless and she gave us back the only dollar she had with her to support our efforts. 2. There was one lady whose husband expired two days back and she had no place to live, she came to us to food for her and for her two dogs. We fed her for a number of weeks until she started getting food stamps. She still visits us occasionally. 3. There is one couple going through hard times during covid era. And whenever, she is in distress deliver her food and groceries no matter in which State she is residing. We recently delivered groceries via instacart to her sons in Texas. To be honest, there are just way too many stories to inspire. 1. Being a non-profit, funding is a constant struggle but we have a great community support to keep on serving the humanity. 3. Over the years, awareness has increased considerable especially during covid era. But need to keep on promoting our services. 3. Logistics, we find it a challenge to deliver food directly to the homeless as volunteers have to drive considerable distances to reach out to them on regular basis. We also need volunteers to donate their time on Sundays. They can sign-up at our website and we invite them. Donations also help us keep on doing what we like to do best for humanity.
