December Newsletter
Dear Friend & Supporter:
Christmas greetings to you and your loved ones! During these four weeks of the holy season of Advent in preparation for Christmas, we have the opportunity to reflect on the simplicity of Christ’s coming. He came as a helpless baby born to a poor family who found themselves stranded on the road at the time of his birth. They found themselves not only homeless, but also without any close friends to aid them.
At Loaves & Fishes, we are seeing a lot more families like Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Many of these families have never experienced “homelessness” before until they were struck hard by our recent economic depression. Many of their own family and friends do not have the means to take them in either.
On these cold and bleak days we here at Loaves & Fishes want to be a welcoming community to all of our poor and homeless guests. Please help us celebrate a wonderful Christmas feast for
We expect to serve a delicious complete hot meal that day to over 1,000 hungry men, women, and children. Then after the feast each will receive a Christmas stocking full of little gifts from you. We very much rely on your help in preparing the 200 cooked or smoked hams and the 300 baked pies.
Please see the meal list and Christmas stocking items. We could certainly use your financial donation too! Thank you for your generosity!
Some of you may want to help prepare and/or serve the meal, or give out the Christmas stockings to our guests, so please call our volunteer coordinator, Sandy, at (916) 446-0874 to get on the schedule starting December 1st. Any schools, departments, and businesses are welcomed to organize special “Drives” to help us during this giving season. We wouldn’t exist without you, our many volunteers and supporters.
May God bless you and may you and your loved ones have a wonderful and joy-filled Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Love & Peace,
