Monday, September 26th, 2011Without passing judgment, and in a spirit of love and hospitality, Loaves and Fishes feeds the hungry and shelters the homeless. They provide an oasis of welcome, safety and cleanliness for homeless men, women and children seeking survival services.
Founded in 1983, they are governed by a Board of Directors selected from Loaves and Fishes and from the community-at-large. These people have demonstrated compassion and concern about the needs of the homeless and the indigent poor.
Every fifth Monday of the month is the dedicated day for SAR and Masters Club Members to volunteer for the preparation or serving shift. Loaves and Fishes serves lunch every day of the year. As the volunteer coordinator, I organize the necessary 20 volunteers for each shift. March 23, 2011 was a milestone, as this organization served a total of six million meals since its inception.
On August 29, 2011, we were really excited to prepare for and serve 900 guests for lunch. This was a very high number of guests but Sharon Gulliford, from Loaves and Fishes, said that the economy is creating a much stronger need for their services. Our next opportunity to volunteer will be October 31st. I invite you to contact me at SHarrold@GoLyon.com to reserve your spot to prepare or serve the lunch. This is a rewarding experience and a great time to meet and work with fellow REALTORS®.
