Mrs. Ann Johnson donated dinner on behalf of Arbor Grove Methodist Church.

Ann has been doing this since 2009 every 3rd Tuesday of the month. She only missed a few times during COVID and one time because of snow.

Special thanks to West End Baptist Church!

They said they were in line to pay and the guy behind heard them talking about getting these items for the shelter. He offered to pay for it so they turned right around, went back and bought another round of everything again!
Also, thanks to the man in line behind you!

They donated double. Thank you and your church for being faithful givers and helping those in need. We appreciate all you do. 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕
