A belated post to say--

We were grateful to serve 15 women this past Saturday night. Each woman was happy to receive tacos and a purse with snacks and hygiene supplies. "This is awesome!" was a common response to our stops. Thank you all for your support in allowing us to show LOV to our community!

Giving LOV on the streets and helping to meet basic needs, because everyone deserves to be cared for.

“I was having some bad thoughts before you pulled up. I was thinking maybe I should step in front of a car, but I didn’t want to put a driver through that.” We spent time talking and caring for Michael. He was feeling hopeless, cold, tired, and hungry. Sometimes a hot meal and some caring faces can make more of a difference than we could ever imagine.

Thank you to all who support us and to Jeanine Donaldson for the meal this week.

“I’m going to have a good night now."

That was the reaction from one of the eight women we met tonight. Another shared how much it meant just knowing someone "has her back." She talked about how important it is to have someone to rely on. LOV is that for her.

There was a lot of love out there! ❤️
