A few days ago we heard from Tami, a single mother of six living in the Twin Cities suburbs. She came to us feeling desperate. Three of her kids are not usually home at this time, but were sent home from college. Putting food on the table has been a challenge. She cleans homes for a living, but the pandemic means she is out of a job for now.
“I’m very sorry, I’m embarrassed as I have never been so desperate before,” Tami said in an email to us.
She's been receiving lunch most days from a nearby school, but what she really wanted was hot meals for herself and her kids. We told her that all she had to do was simply show up to one of our sites and receive however many meals she needed - no questions asked. In Tami's words:
"Thank you for being a blessing to so many people... especially through this difficult time."
We want to thank YOU, our loyal supporters, for being a blessing. Because of caring individuals like you, our doors remain open and people like Tami can feed her family while feeling comforted and dignified.
