“I must be willing to give whatever it takes to do good to others. This requires that I be willing to give until it hurts. Otherwise, there is no true love in me, and I bring injustice, not peace, to those around me.”
- Mother Teresa
100% of Funding Provided by 100 Voices Who Care to be used for:
Coldwater will use the funds to purchase food for our Friends Day hot meals.
They will use the funding to assist with purchasing food for the hot lunch. They have served a hot meal to the Friends who visit the pantry and clothing closet Saturdays for the past 15 years. With the cost of food going up, the number of families who need assistance going up and providing a nutritious meal has become expensive. They would love to continue to provide a hot lunch to everyone who walks in their doors.
Before COVID-19 they fed only the family members that visited the pantry. Now they send meals home to everyone.
The Friends Day Meal provides about 300 meals a month.
They are seeing a rising need and were seeking immediate help.
They feel this opportunity to provide a hot meal accomplishes several things. 1) A free meal for the whole family. 2) A well balanced and nutritious meal and 3) An opportunity for the family to eat together.
