?? What an incredible day at The Sharing Center’s Thanksgiving Neighborly Luncheon! ?? We are so grateful for our amazing supporters who came together to help provide comfort, community, and hope this holiday season because of you we were able to feed 106 people this holiday season. A special thank-you to The Good Pour , our lead sponsor, for championing our efforts to bring relief and care to our neighbors in need. This event wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of so many: ?? Sonny's BBQ – for preparing a delicious feast and serving everyone with care. ?? The First African Methodist Episcopal Church– for donating hams, making sure every meal was hearty and warm. ? Rusty Bicycle Repair – for providing the large tent that gave us a safe and welcoming space to gather. ??

October 2nd through the 6th, we participated in CrossLife Church’s Global Missions Conference. Over 30 global and local ministries were brought together for a 4-day event packed with meaningful times of fellowship and opportunities to share more about our mission with the CrossLife church members and fellow missionaries. CrossLife is a church that prioritizes missions. They hosted two of our monthly community food distributions this year, helping us feed over 200 families each time. #GlobalMissions #CrossLifeChurch #CommunityOutreach #MissionFocused #ServingTogether
