David and Susan McWhorter, members of our parish, making a difference in our community. Thank you for making a difference!

✨Volunteer Spotlight✨ Susan McWhorter’s mother was a recipient of Meals With Love, LCM’s program that delivers meals to the elderly, disabled and shut ins. Susan said that Meals With Love helps caretakers and family members tremendously and is an invaluable service to all recipients.

When her mother passed at almost 100, Susan and her husband David McWhorter decided to become volunteers with LCM. Every Thursday, David works in the Food Box and Susan helps up front wherever she’s needed. Susan said, “As long as I’m able to help I’m happy to help!”

LCM is always looking for volunteers! Contact LCM at (903) 753-3561 - we would love to plug you right in!
