Feeding the future

Outreach Eats offers snacks, kindness through skatepark ministry

The youths snagged plastic bags and made their ways down long tables, taking their picks and filling their sacks with fruit snacks, pudding cups, chip bags, fresh braided breads, pastries and other goodies.

You matter."

After a heavy snowfall, we would grab our shovels and go in search of adults discouraged by nature's actions. We came across a lot of half-shoveled walks and driveways, and discouraged adults willing to pay us to finish the job.
