D Street Feeding

One of our small groups did the nightly dinner at the "D" street mission tonite. I was not able to attend, Because DR V. placed me on the sidelines with pneumonia. This outreach event is an eye opener to say the least. 120 men and women whose only Hot Meal on this winter day is here at the Salvation Army run, City of Modesto facility. People of all shapes,sizes, ethnicity and many types of cultural backgrounds. This shelter differs from the Mission in that it is less restricted on who can stay or not stay. If you are among the first 100 men and 20 woman you have a meal and a place to stay. No time limit and not to many personal question. Meals at this facility are all brought in by a different Faith Based Group every night of the week while the facility is open amd all the meals are free. Tonight the food was Chilli, Cornbread, Salad and Lemonade. One of the volunteers commented, 2000 years ago the masses were feed by Jesus with loaves and fish, tonight Jesus used chilli and cornbred. I wish I could have been there to see the Chilli and Cornbred stretch to fit the hungry stomachs on hand. I wish I could have seen Jesus meet their needs, while our Christian Soldiers were His hands. Next Year we will reach out and feed at this shelter again.
