​Holiday Food Baskets

Greetings! As our team gears up for this holiday season, I pray that you are well.
 
At St. Luke’s, we are blessed to continue the mission that Co-Founders Amy Betros and Norm Paolini started over 31 years ago–-to provide food, shelter and clothing to those in need. When people gather every day for meals in this safe space, where their basic needs are met, we are reminded that God is Good! 
 
This is our first holiday season since the passing of our beloved director Amy and this tremendous loss has had a deep impact on all of us. But the missionaries and all of our St. Luke’s family are determined to preserve and live the vision that Amy and Norm had: to love, to serve, and to show mercy. And it remains a privilege and our life’s work to continue helping the poor and the underserved members in our community.
 
Food costs continue to increase, but people are hungry and need to eat, so the need to help is greater than ever. With your assistance and God’s grace, we anticipate providing Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to approximately 4000 families this holiday season. Our friends at Tarantino Foods will once again kindly assist us with distribution at their facility.
 
This year’s bundles will include a voucher for a large chicken, produce, and a bag with dry goods (stuffing, corn, cranberry sauce, etc.). We will also be providing holiday meals for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.
 
Amy always said that God can never be outdone in generosity. Trusting in this we ask that you pray and let the Lord direct your giving to us. Know that God will bless your generosity abundantly.
 
To those who are in need, and to those who help, we pray for you and your loved ones.
Thank you very much and God Bless you always!
