Serving Supper During the Storm

In the midst of “Snowmageddon,” Wesley students and friends still gathered to participate in community service this past Saturday.  Under the leadership of our housemate Becky Richards, 48 bags of food containing pasta, sandwiches, hard boiled eggs, and oranges were prepared.  Volunteers then braved the elements to distribute the food to our unhoused neighbors of downtown DC who were not sheltered during the blizzard.

Sometimes there is no need or time to make special arrangements with local nonprofits… The reality was that there were hungry people trying to weather the storm without a roof over their head, and we had the chance to at least bring them a warm meal and some conversation…

Where in your neighborhood are needs not being met? Is it in your capabilities to help? Why wait for someone else to do it… Be the hands and feet of God…
