A volunteer’s story: “I am exhausted to be very honest with you, and very dissatisfied with my life right now. Yesterday, I told my friends that I hated having to come up and make sandwiches (for Our Daily Bread). Any other day I was excited, but last evening I was worn out. But amazingly, once I started, I felt so much better. It truly lifted my spirits. That’s what service does. It makes one grateful for what they have. Thank you for allowing us to participate in your mission.”

Thanks to all of you, our volunteers, our donors, our supporters for BEING PART of our mission to feed the hungry.

God’s peace,
Paul
