Need of the Month

This month, we just really need to say: Thank You!

We never cease to be amazed at the love of God shown through the generosity and kindness of people!

Our 2007 holiday ministries saw us give away 2300 bundles of food for Thanksgiving and 2000 bundles of food for Christmas (remembering that each bundle consisted of two bags of non perishable food items and one bag of perishable food items).

In our 2007 Christmas New Toy Giveaway we gave away over 3000 new toys to families whose children would most likely not have received anything for Christmas.

Our 2007 Family to Family Christmas drive allowed us to sponsor over 100 families so we could provide gifts and food for an entire family (parent(s) and children) for Christmas.

At our holiday dinners, we served almost 300 for Thanksgiving and over 200 on Christmas Eve!

And this is all in addition to the daily ministries that go on at St. Luke's: The two meals a day, Monday through Saturday. The St. Luke's Mall where we give away clothing and household items. The two weekly food give always we have. Our Homeless shelter. Our Good Shepherd Residence. And all of the people who find warmth and shelter in one of the many houses that St. Luke's operates.

And all of this possible only through the grace and love of God poured out through so many generous and caring individuals, families, work departments, churches, schools and companies giving of their resources, their time, their talents, their energy and effort and their prayers. Without God, and without all of you, none of this would be possible. We are deeply moved and humbled by your love. Again, on behalf of all those who have been touched by your love, including all of us, thank you!

May God bless each of you and your entire family with a happy, peace-filled, joy-filled and blessed year! You will all be in our hearts and in our prayers.
