Hey y'all!
With the looming government shutdown threatening the loss of SNAP/WIC/EBT for many of our brothers and sisters in the community, me and my wife were discussing ways we might be able to help meet their needs. We cook healthy dinners most nights of the week and generally have enough left over to feed ourselves lunch or dinner the next day, so we thought "what if we just intentionally cook meals for 4 people, and find two people in the community who could use the food?"
So, if you or anyone you know could use two extra meals I would love to connect with you and meet that need! We are thinking we could plan on cooking and delivering meals on Monday night and Tuesday night every week.
Also, if your family thinks they too could help feed others in the community, comment and let us know how many plates you could cook on what days and we could match you up with a family that needs them! and if you are a family that is in need either comment or email me at [email protected] with your name, phone number, and how many people you need to feed so that we can find a family that can help you out.
I feel like there is potential to create a really beneficial network of resources here. Scarcity is a myth -- it's just a matter of connecting those with an excess to those with a need! We are happy to do everything we can to facilitate that process!
Also FYI Opelika has a soup kitchen that serves meals every Thursday around 10:30 at 1000 Samford Ct! All are welcome, and if you have time, they usually start prepping around 9am and can always use extra volunteers.
Matthew 25:44-45
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
Share this so that we can get this movement going!
