I had the pleasure of taking part in one of their free breakfasts for their neighbors. From the moment I stepped into the building, I felt the love and dignity for others that is the foundation for this ministry. As a volunteer they welcomed me so sincerely. Serving and talking to the neighbors at breakfast was completely heartwarming. I encourage others to experience this wonderful ministry.
