VOLUNTEER PHOTO DUMP. 📸💜 Because apparently everyone does them and they’re cool.
Also because, if we’re being honest, we’ve had A LOT going on lately and have been absolutely BLOWING up your feeds:
》 Project: SOS.
》 ChiliFest.
》 Fairs, Events & Festivals
》 Birthdays
》 Run for The Banquet.
》 High volunteer needs.
》 A brand-new volunteer system.
》 More than a few days of begging, pleading, and asking for help
》 AMAZING donations
》 And now… the beginnings of a new Christmas tradition we’re pretty excited about.
So yes, our regular volunteer thank-yous got a little behind.
We’re sorry.
But also…
HOT DANG. LOOK AT ALL THESE AMAZING PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Over the last month and a half, our kitchens and dining rooms have been filled with churches, businesses, schools, organizations, families, individuals, and, of course, our incredible Banquet Angels.
There’s something pretty awesome about seeing all of these photos together. It’s basically a giant game of Where’s Waldo: Banquet Edition.
Behind every picture is someone who gave their time, rolled with the changes, learned something new, showed patience when things weren’t perfect, and helped make sure our guests were welcomed and fed.
So this giant photo dump is really one giant THANK YOU.
Thank you for the patience.
Thank you for the understanding.
Thank you for going with the flow.
Thank you for continuing to show up.
And thank you for reminding us what community actually looks like.
💜 To everyone involved over these past several weeks, we are beyond grateful.
