It’s a daunting number but we anticipate that by June 2024, we will exceed 2,000,000 meals served. Requests for Loaves & Fishes’ assistance have tripled since March 2020, growing from 2,500 meals to over 7,000 meals per day! By the end of June 2023, we had provided over 1,800,000 meals to those most vulnerable in our communities. And all estimates indicate that we will have served over two million meals by June 2024.

I’ve just got home from the board meeting of Widows and Widowers Ministering Angels. I’ve been appointed Chair of the Endowment Committee. Jennie Taylor is the Vice-Chair. If you would like to donate money to needy widows where just the interest on your donation is used annually, let me know. It doesn’t have to be a lot of money. At 5% a year, $5,000 can provide $250 per year each and every year going forward. $25,000 creates $1,250 per year. You can even commit to a yearly contribution until you get enough money endowed to help in the way you desire. Maybe it’s Christmas presents for kids or a trip for the family or rent or car repairs. But creating an endowment now means you can help someone every year in perpetuity. It’s as simple as messaging me on Linked-In to get the details. wwministeringangels.org
