Hello Friend,
Since we entered the holiday season weeks ago, we have had some wonderful happenings, many smiles of gratitude, and many tears of joy as we shared God’s provision and love with so many of our less fortunate residents right here in Utah.
We also met new people who have recently found themselves in great despair, many for the first time. If it wasn’t for the Mission stepping forward to reach out, they wouldn’t have known where to go for help. There is not much more fulfilling than to show others that you care and then watch their hearts light up with joy as hope is becoming real.
As we prepare for our special Christmas events, our daily operations are still ongoing. Your support this month will help keep our storage areas stocked with food, keep our daily relief operations going, and assist the Mission as we bring the spirit of Christmas joy – hope realized – to many who are feeling frustrated and battling against all odds.
Along with our ongoing programs, our special events this month include: Our annual “Christmas Food Box Giveaway”. A special annual event open to anyone who is food insecure and families on a tight budget this Christmas. We will be providing special holiday food boxes with everything to prepare a Christmas meal at home. A financial life saver for those who really can’t spare the extra cost for a special Christmas meal with the family.
As you sit down this year to enjoy a Christmas meal with family and friends, you can rejoice that you also helped provide the same for those who are living disadvantaged lives right here in Utah.
On Christmas Day we are hosting our annual “Greatest Christmas Ever” meal that provides a day of food and fellowship to our unsheltered and homeless residents, families living in shelters, as well as others who have nowhere else to go. We will serve a delicious Christmas meal with all the trimmings.
Your role is one of great importance! It takes a lot of resources and food to get us through the holidays. Your continued support is such a blessing in our mission to provide multi thousands of meals during the Christmas season.
Not only do we provide meals and food boxes for our own events, but we also distribute food to other agencies who also provide for those in need. And we have a team who delivers to those who are shut-ins and cannot leave their home. Especially the elderly.
So, with everyone we assist this Christmas, for everyone we provide food for, let us create a wonderful experience at every opportunity, watching each one’s smile express “My heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my body also dwells secure.” – Psalm 16:9.
So as we begin this month in celebration of the Christmas season, join us in representing “The reason for the season” by showing the “caring love” of the one who was born into this world to show others the goodness and caring sympathy OF OUR GREAT GOD.
Thank you [First Name] for being so special to us and to so many that we positively impact together. We hold you dear in our hearts and pray for you to enjoy “THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS EVER!”.
God bless you!
