After the senseless fire at Trinity Episcopal Church and surrounding properties, there has been a tremendous lot of good that has come out of this disaster. I want to especially thank the fire department, police department, and the library for their immediate responses. Local churches — especially First United Methodist and St. Francis of Assisi Catholic, which have offered space for Episcopal services through Easter.

There are so many people in the community who have been supportive of Family Kitchen, especially by feeding the hungry right after the fire. We are blessed to have so many friends and neighbors who have shown selfless love and support. Thank you, one and all!
