ACTION TEAM SPOTLIGHT!! Our family started More Than A Meal in 2020, during the pandemic - one week before Thanksgiving, when we realized that many people would go without a Thanksgiving meal due to the pandemic. I decided we had to take action. I put the word out on Facebook garage sale sites and such, that if anyone needed a Thanksgiving meal, we would deliver it for free the day before Thanksgiving. I thought we might get a few requests. But when my husband came home that day, and I told him what I did, he said, "What are we going to do if we get 100 meal requests?" And I said, "We'll deliver 100 meals. God will provide. He always does". And man did He ever. We had over 150 meal requests come in! We rallied the troops. Friends and family donated their time and money to help pull it off. Our kitchen was full of love and laughter, all masked and gloved up - ready to send out some love & meals. My son's hockey team even volunteered to deliver the meals! We somehow pulled it off! And we vowed that as long as there's a need, we will continue this ministry. The following year, we partnered with our church, The Haven at Sandy Hook UMC, to utilize their commercial kitchen to be able to serve even more of our neighbors in need. And last year, we served over 1,400 meals in Bartholomew County! We are so thankful for the Thrivent grants, as they allow us to have seed money to get the fundraising going and to help fund this ministry and spread the word to our neighbors that they matter, they are seen, and they are loved. See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.

Full speed ahead! Thrivent says to take action. He apparently took that literally. 😂

We take “serving others” pretty seriously around here. 😂 And apparently, we take serving up some pretty good wings seriously too! Just a little behind-the-scenes look at the people who make up our Thrivent family. Good food, good people, and plenty of reasons to gather around the table.
