FIA Feeds the Homeless

A Mother's Day dinner was delivered to TurningPoint, a homeless shelter that our church supports, by aspecial group of women accompanied by some of theirchildren, who volunteered their time as a gift to theirmom.

Participating were Anne Gallagher with son Tom;Maria Groezinger and daughters, Emma and Hanna;Didi Rea and her daughter Josie; Barbara Kernochan,and Jessamine Winston. The recipients gave a bigapplause for the dinner - the chicken dish and thedesserts were especially big hits.

Faith in Action supports Turning Point on two otherholidays: Martin Luther King Day and Labor Day. Volunteersgenerally purchase and prepare food, and serve anevening dinner. One of our small ministry groups provideddinner on Martin Luther King Day as an in-serviceproject. This is a rewarding way to spend a holiday.Please contact Marsha Smithif you are interested in participating in the coming year.
