That no one should go hungry.

Reminding people of the value God places on them.
-
Doing what we can with what we have.
-
Honouring everyone regardless of their background.
And the Lord loved the child; and He sent word ...and he named him Jedidiah (beloved of the Lord) for the sake of God.

At the start of the year God placed in my heart to feed. I had no idea just how much need was about to happen. Initially running a food class/soup kitchen in YMCA hostel, Covid-19 lockdown happened and meant that things had to be put on hold.
A few weeks after lockdown began, I felt strongly there was hunger behind some of the front doors around us.
The local schools provided the numbers of families they knew of who needed some help. Working with my neighbours, we provided food parcels to these 100 families, initially as a one-off.
Then we did it again, and again, with increasing numbers each week. It has become a regular thing, delivering thousands of meals and hopefully, making families feel less desperate.
A wonderful team of 98 volunteers make this happen.
God keeps providing.

Flight of the Bumble Bee Feeding & Cookery Class Program for the Homeless
delivered via YMCA Hostels- Established in February 2020
Weekly Cooking Classes
Participants are taught how to cook quick nutritious and delicious meals ensuring good health
Meal Planning
The classes include meal planning to stimulate the mind and boost confidence on a tight budget
Feeding
Participants at each class get to share a meal with their tutor and get a portion of food to take away for a second meal
Social wellbeing
Every participant in the class enjoys the benefits of positive social association growing their confidence and the morale boost of acquiring a skill.
Motivation
Often for homeless residents residing in hostels, depression is a real and vivid challenge. The classes gives them something to look forward to each day
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jer 29:11
