School started back in August, but we didn't see the number of people in need drop. They have increased.
We served 435 people (individuals and families) through our food and hygiene pantries and clothing rooms in the month of August. That's the most we have helped in one month through our food and hygiene pantries. We also served 3,000 hot meals during August ... another record month.
We have seen the number of homeless and those in need continually rise this year. During the first quarter of 2019 we were meeting needs of 200 people through our food and hygiene pantries. The numbers have steadily risen to 435.
We were averaging 1,600 hot meals a month during the first quarter of 2019. Now we are at 3,000. We are reaching more people with our mobile kitchen, and more people are coming to Love In Action to eat a hot meal.
The reach of our food ministry has increased the reach of our ability to share the Gospel of Jesus, which is most important. We have seen 53 people make decisions for Jesus so far this year, and we praise God for that.
As the ministry continues to increase and reach more people with the Gospel and with vital physical needs such as food, our expenses have increased as well. Please help by making a one-time financial donation, or become a monthly financial partner. Your generosity will help us continue meeting the spiritual and physical needs of the homeless and those living in poverty here in our hometown of Dothan, Ala.
