Augusta church delivers 730 free Thanksgiving meals to homebound residents
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – More than 700 people enjoyed a free Thanksgiving meal in the comfort of their own homes Thursday.
The Vineyard Church of Augusta delivered 730 hot meals to people in local public housing communities as part of their “Dinner of Love” program.
The initiative targets those who are sick and shut-in and the elderly.
Pastor Mary Margarey Leroy said the church works with the Augusta Housing Authority to identify people in need.
“Oh my goodness it’s why we breath it’s our whole reason of why we exist is to serve others you know we’re a faith-based organization we’re a church so you know Jesus is our model and he said ‘I came to serve and not to be served’ and that is that’s our life blood,” Leroy said.
The church also distributed 275 Thanksgiving meal kits last Saturday.
Vineyard Church of Augusta operates a food pantry that is open Mondays from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
