Getting Dinner to the Doors
A dedicated group of volunteers and Caring Ministry board members braved blizzard conditions last month to help make another successful Dinner to Your Door meal preparation session! Almost 50 meals were prepared. Dinner to Your Door meals are given to OSL members who might benefit from a having a ready-to-heat meal during a time of illness or situational challenge or crisis. Thank you for your generous support of this ministry!
