We have served as volunteers at our church by preparing and serving food, eating with the families, spending the night and getting the families off to the day center in the morning 4x in the past year. It's been an eye-opening experience for my teenage daughters to meet the families - kids just like them who are classmates. Our church coordinators are amazing, they spend hours finding volunteers, thinking out each detail of what's needed for the week, rallying support and goods. I find that this experience feeds my soul - almost more than feeding the needs of others. Valerie and Family Promise do an amazing job of coordinating each church involved, training each volunteer on the need for privacy and respect of the families, and developing support in the community. It's a HUGE job and labor of love.
