Mama’s Kitchen is thankful for you. You, the volunteer who selflessly dedicates your spare time spending it in the kitchen preparing meals, at the reception answering the phone and welcoming guests, at the pantry sorting and organizing food and making clients feel welcome and heard, in the office doing data entry, in your car doing deliveries to make sure our clients are nourished. You, the board member who offers your expertise and knowledge to help us run the organization efficiently. You, the donor who believes in the work that our staff members and volunteers do every day, enough to ensure that we are financially stable and prepared for growth. You, the friend and follower and supporter and community partner who tells others about how important it is for us to support our community members who are criticality ill. And most importantly, you, our client who trusts and believes in all of us to assist you in a time of need. Food is love. Food is medicine. Food heals. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to all!
