On December
25, 2014 Reconciliation House will host its 11th annual Community
Care Christmas dinner delivery. Our Dinner last year was very successful and we
expect this year’s dinner to be even more successful. Our purpose in planning
this dinner is to provide those in our community with the blessing of a hot
meal and a visit on the holiday that is known for sharing and caring. We are
planning a traditional menu and a small token gift. We are expecting to past
our total of 275 meals from last year.
Some comments
from last year participants:
Some of our
volunteers have said how they are brought to tears by the gratitude of those
receiving the meal their kindness and appreciation of such a caring thought
when they thought now one cared.
Volunteers
have said they have gained a family project of visiting those whom they
delivered meals. To visit them throughout the year and help them with projects
that need doing from yard work to minor repairs and just a little
companionship. This was one of the greatest things we could have ever done for
Jesus and our family.
Volunteer
never knew there was some much need in our community thanks for the opportunity
to serve my neighbor.
The recipients
have gotten up and got dressed decided they would go out to church or just for
a walk that the thoughtfulness of others brought joy to what would have been a
sad lonely day.
