I have the most rewarding job . After being a stay at home mom and grandmother for 20 plus years , God hand picked a job that He has been grooming me for all those years . I’m still taking care of people , I feel like they are family.
I get to meet the most generous and loving people who come and bring food for 120 people , six days a week for the past 20 years . Different church groups , businesses , friends and even a restaurant owner , Greens and Protein brings food twice a month . One church , Green Valley United Methodist Church sends a amazing group in 4 times a month to feed and care for our guests and then also helps with extra days that we have no one coming in. My dear friends Susan and Joe Schuler took on one day a month and even fills in holes in my calendar . Not only that they make snack bags for me to hand out to people who knock on our door during the day , hungry . Green Valley Presbyterian Church comes with a wonderful meal and sets up in our parking lot to hand out toiletries and so much more to our guests . What a amazing blessing for all.
My friends and neighbors are so giving of toiletries and lots of other items for the guest that come and see me daily. I serve Veterans , Seniors , Homeless and families that just can’t make ends meet . I feel like a mother on Christmas morning when I can go in my back room and bring back the item one of my guests need, like a pair of socks, a blanket , reading glasses and so on .
What I also love about my day are the church bells I get to hear all day long . We lease the kitchen and dining hall at St Timothy’s Episcopal church. I love being in the Lords house everyday.
All people need to be reminded they are God’s children , as we are and worthy of love and respect .
I feel so grateful and Blessed to be apart of a big family , Friends In The Desert . ❤️🛐❤️
Everyday I know in my heart , God is in this place .

Today I had a gentleman come that just broke my heart . He was at the church really early and in a wheelchair . I said a prayer with my granddaughter for him then went outside and talked with him . He had been in the hospital for 8 weeks. His legs from knee down had cracks and open sores. His thighs were so skinny and he had stitches over his eye because he falls very easy. He said the hospital put him out but gave him a wheel chair when he left . He said he went back to the house he had paid to live in before the hospital and the lady there told him had to leave because he had no money . He said last night he slept in the park but Henderson Police woke him up and made him move on . They gave him a resource booklet to try and find a place inside . Together we called about 12 places and each place gave us another number to call because they couldn’t help . Finally I called a Social Worker that comes out once a month to help people out at St Timothy’s / Friends In The Desert and she is going to get him help today. My point in sharing this is , I was able to give him the only blanket I had left . I packed a backpack with some food to hold him over for a few days and he had a hot meal with us along with 70 other people . Plus he can come back to me for food daily . I am so blessed to have the job that I have .
I am so grateful for all your help and kindness you all have for other people. Homelessness can happen to anyone for lots of different reasons . I am grateful for all your help. Today I am in need of blankets , sleeping bags , backpacks and toiletries . We don’t need clothes because I can send them out to Deseret Industries for free. Thank you all so much for helping me pay it forward .
