LLT MINISTRIES
Dear friends,
As we continue to work our way forward through this health challenge, I thought I would provide an update.
On March 20, Lee Trotter (he helps with the summer program in KCK) kindly went around to different places and collected our supplies. Then a team of young people (We were trying to avoid using any one in the high risk category.) assembled boxes of food. They were able to assemble 100 boxes with supplies to last for about one month.
On Saturday, March 21, they distributed all of the boxes to the needy. Additionally, we had some baby clothes, kids clothes, coats and shoes which were available for those in need to pick up at the same time. I’m so thankful for the willingness, generosity, and work of all involved to have made this happen before the new restrictions went into place.
I’ve checked with multiple people about whether the flip-flops and hats could be distributed easily, which is the April project, and while those are needed for the kids, the need for food is greater. The KCK school district is providing some meals every day, but a worker has been diagnosed with Covid, so it is unclear how that will impact the meal distribution. Lee (mentioned above) is planning to distribute some food every two weeks to those homeless and economically deprived in the area. The youth in the neighborhood will help (including some of the homeless) sort and pack. Then the boxes will be available for pickup at the location of the summer program. At this time, no decision has been made about the summer program. Because I want to honor the “stay at home” restrictions, I plan to place an order to be shipped/delivered to Lee’s place. One good thing about using non-perishables is that I can use this method of delivery. Lee will then gather with less than ten people to organize and distribute the food. If anyone would like to join me in helping with food supplies, please do. If not, we will continue to wait until the “stay at home” has been lifted and we can resume our normal activities.
Take care and stay healthy!
