SUMMARY

When times were at their worst, we tried to be at our best – covering gaps in services caused by the pandemic that literally forced more people onto the streets.

• We prayed over approx. 1,100 people during the month
• We served an avg. of 113 people every day of the month
• We’ll hit our next milestone (sack lunch No. 175,000) in May
