Helping Encouraging Loving People Volume 4, Issue 3

March 2015

Operation CIA was a huge success this month because of the hard work of 13 delivery teams and 30 volunteers boxing/cooking the meals. Their efforts enabled us to provide 845 meals and 39 food boxes to people in need throughout our community. We would like to thank Yum Yum Bakery in Ponchatoula for providing exceptional desserts. Mark your calendars the next Operation CIA will be Saturday, March 28, 2015. We need people to deliver food, box meals, and cook. This month we hosted a Valentine’s Day Party for the girls at the Jessie Dotey Youth Development Center. We had Ginger Finnan teach the girls how to make jewelry and she shared an encouraging message on God’s unconditional love. We would like to thank Especially For You Florist for providing these precious girls with beautiful flower arrangements to show them how incredibly special they are. We were able to provide 350 jambalaya meals for students from all over the United States with the School of Urban Missions. This was our third year in a row serving food at their annual Mardi Gras Evangelism Outreach in Metairie. We also cooked jambalaya for The Harbor’s Welcome To Church Sunday Celebration. This month we would like to thank the following donors for financially partnering with us to help feed and reach our community: Biomed Plus, Louisiana Jubilee, Natalbany Baptist Church, & The Mission Church. We are incredibly grateful for all you do to help others!
