Thank you to those who came out yesterday to help setup for the LOFT feeding. Although only had 50 people showed up, lives were impacted and a lot of food came out from the event. Thank you and please stay connected throughout the up and coming months as we prepare for Christmas and Easter Events. Special thanks to palm beach harvest for donating 200 meals on top of everything else they have done for our small but growing ministry. -Michael Pesce

The outpouring of donations and volunteers for our Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless has been amazing!! It's heartwarming to see so many willing to take time out to love the "least of these" during the busy holidays. Whether your gift is food, plates, or your time spent with our homeless brothers and sisters at Currie Park, YOU are the hands and feet of Jesus. Thank you to each and every one of you!!

Thanks to a shopping cart full of donations from the Downs family, there are just a few things left that we need! If you'd like to donate one of more of the items below, comment or msg us. Thank you!

Hey, lovely friends of LOFT International Inc.! We already have quite a few awesome volunteers coming out to help serve and eat a YUMMY Thanksgiving dinner with our local homeless, and amazing supporters contributing to the menu. For those of you who can't make it out to join us, and those who are blessing us by NOT cooking (heehee), fret not! You can help too!

WOULD YOU DONATE: foam plates, foam cups, plastic utensils, napkins, large foil pans, drink mixes (tea or lemonade), individual bottles of water, gallons of water (for drink mixes and hot chocolate), or small marshmallows?

(We will be feeding 75 - 100, but you don't have to donate enough for everyone. Give what you can. Every single little bit helps!)

WOULD YOU LOAN US: large sports type drink dispenser or hot plate (to heat water for hot chocolate)?

Community Thrift (near the Rapids) has 25 cent clothes on Sundays, starting at noon. I got 4 garbage bags full for $20 last week. Score! The only problem is, people line up early, and the good stuff clears out quickly. I could use some volunteers to help me divide and conquer. Sections I need covered are mens pants, mens jeans, mens outerwear, womens sweaters, womens coats, womens jeans. The line forms around 11:30am, and we can be out by 1pm.

Join me weekly, monthly, or just once - whatever you can do!

If you can't shop with us, you can pitch in a few dollars instead. Message us to arrange a donation.

Donations of YOUR unneeded adult clothes and shoes ALWAYS hoped for and appreciated. FREE ROCKS! :)

We will be holding our annual Thanksgiving Dinner with the homeless at Currie Park (Flagler Dr, just N of Good Sam Hospital). We'd love to have you come serve and eat with us at noon on 11/27.

Even if you can't join us, you can still contribute to the effort with a dish (a foil pan of dressing, pie, bag of dinner rolls, canned or fresh veggies, etc....). We'd be ever so grateful for the help as we plan to feed 75-100 people! Many of our "regular" homeless friends won't be able to make it to Currie Park, so we'll be delivering packaged meals all over town.

Also, please clean out your drawers and closets. All your unwanted clothes, shoes, socks, belts, hats, sweaters, coats, blankets, sleeping bags, and pillows will go to good use, made available to those in need.

Please comment to let us know you're in!

I've never been so happy to stand over a hot stove hard boiling 156 eggs before. Wait, I've never hard boiled that many at once. Anyway, so grateful for lots of extra protein to give to our homeless two Saturdays in a row, courtesy of Whole Foods donations. One man's trash.... Last week each got one egg. This week likely enough for each to get two! They were very thankful to get them last week.

Deep Freezers needed to help store all these pastries we are getting from our 9 local food accounts. We would be grateful if you can donate (tax write off) or purchase one for our small but growing organization.
