matthewsmeals1   matthewsmeals2

This grant will help with the costs to upgrade and purchase appliances and equipment used to serve meals in the only community kitchen in northern Pierce and southern Kitsap counties offering free hot meals to the public at large. The goal is to increase the meals served from once a month to once a week. The ovens in use are old and need to be replaced and upgraded to accommodate food preparation for the goal of 100 meals per week. Equipment needs anticipated will be ovens, a microwave, food processor, commercial grade cookware and mixer, and storage shelves. Many families in financial distress in these communities are struggling to obtain meals as there are no community kitchens offering hot prepared meals. The members of King of Glory Lutheran, Gig Harbor, Washington, are moved by Christ to publicize, cook, setup, serve and cleanup for each meal and to act for His kingdom by providing hot meals freely to any and all in need on an ongoing and regular basis through its Matthew’s Meals program.
Prayer: Dear Father in Heaven, As the congregation of King of Glory Lutheran Church reaches out in love to the people of their area, may the Mite funding from the Washington-Alaska District LWML provide them with the equipment they need to continue and grow their mission. We pray for the people in need as this congregation extends Christ’s loving hand to them and present Your message of love. In Your blessed name, Amen.
