COVID 19 - Five Loaves and TWO Fish

Since the COVID 19 crisis, there have been a lot of hungry people in NYC.  One of the places we started bringing food is Northern Blvd in Flushing, Queens.  We do "loving Drive-By's" to bring food to the men who wait on specific corners in Flushing in hopes that they might get some work for the day.  At least, that's how they provided for their families up until this virus shut everything down.  Since most of them are immigrants, they don't qualify for financial aid.  

Jesus would feed the hungry so we follow His lead!  We are so thankful that for weeks, we have been getting food donations from the Anabaptist COVID-19 Response team.  They packed together fresh foods in a banana box.  We split the boxes so that they would go further and also brought out other bags when these ran out.  

When they see the truck coming, they come running to start a line to receive the food.

  If they can't get work, at least they are able to bring back some food for their families.

We are grateful for those food boxes which came for over 6 weeks.  Each week, something else has been delivered to local ministries to distribute to others.  So, the food keeps multiplying!  We are praying for more as the lines have increased.  It is amazing to see the Body of Christ come together, giving, serving, and multiplying resources to GIVE both food and the love of Jesus! THANK YOU!
