Lunches and Love! - Summer 2010

If you made a few or even many lunches, if you rode on the lunch truck and hugged a child or encouraged a brother or sister in need- thank you. Your sandwich, your smile, your prayers and willingness to get involved, with what seemed at the beginning of the summer to be an overwhelming mission, was amazing! Thanks to the extreme generosity of this community, we delivered over 6000 lunches to local residents throughout the summer break. Words are inadequate to describe the many blessings that we all received through reaching out as a community to build friendships and meet true needs. I believe I speak for everyone who participated when I tell you that I will miss this daily coming together with my neighbors and the generous way they shared their lives and gratitude. In addition to each one of you who made this effort possible every weekday, I would like to thank Lake Hills Church for the unrestricted use of their Mobile Loaves & Fishes trucks. I would also like to thank the Ladies of Charity and Emmaus Church for "Thursdays," two amazing LTHS teachers without whose help we could not have succeeded, and Austin Christian Fellowship, who made more lunches than I want to count! Thank you to so many Lake Travis churches and LTISD teachers, local clubs, exercise groups and neighborhood groups and to countless Lake Travis individuals with hearts of gold! And to Janet Bailey- thank you for your vision and for your courage.
