โ๏ธ The Summer Lunch Program is officially underway, and the energy did not disappoint.
This week, children and adults came through the doors, fed and welcomed by an incredible crew of volunteers from Custer Road and YMSL. Every weekday, Plano ISD provides hot meals for kids who need them most, and through YOUR generous donations, we purchase daily adult meals too, because no one in the building goes hungry on our watch.
While meals are served, activity tables give families a chance to slow down together: make art, play a board game, or pick out a book to take home. Lunch here is more than a meal. It's a moment.
And just down the hall? Summer school is in session for kids who need a little extra support. Because of your generosity, we'll be treating those teachers to an appreciation meal this summer, and inviting their students outside whenever a sweets truck pulls up. Because unexpected joy belongs to everyone. Our love for our partner school doesn't stop when the school year does. ๐
Then Friday happened.
Families picked up Weekend Bags packed with food to carry them through to Monday, because hunger doesn't take weekends off. And then an ice cream truck pulled up.
Kids, parents, and school staff poured outside. The parking lot filled with the kind of joy that doesn't need explanation. And for a moment, it felt exactly like what it's supposed to be: a community showing up for its neighbors. ๐ฆ
This is what it looks like when a church chooses to love boldly and practice uncommon hospitality. Not just meeting needs, but making people feel seen, valued, and genuinely welcomed.
Three more weeks ahead. We're just getting started.
