Very Cold this evening at Veterans Park for both our guests and volunteers (windy w chills in the teens). Nothing that a hot meal and some hot chocolate couldn't solve!

And lots of love from the team!

Thank you so much 5Loaves2Fish!

Loving Father,

It humbles us to know that when we care for the least, we are loving You. Open our eyes to see You in the faces of the hungry, the hurting, and the forgotten. Don’t let us miss the quiet moments where love is needed most.
Make our compassion more than sentiment—make it action. Use our hands to serve, our words to heal, and our heart to reflect Yours.
Use us today, Lord. Let someone feel Your heart through our team.

In Jesus’ name, Amen
