The weather turned frightful in January, bringing freezing cold temperatures, wind and ice, but that didn't stop Texans on Mission volunteers from bringing some warmth and comfort to vulnerable people in North Texas.
Volunteers were up before the sun, warming up the skillets and cooking thousands of hot meals for the homeless, as they moved out of the frigid weather and into an emergency shelter. For eight days, TXM volunteers cooked about 3,700 meals a day to provide for those sheltering from the cold. In all, TXM provided 25,876 meals.
"This is what we are called to do," said Gary Finley, TXM mass feeding coordinator. "We're here to be the hands and feet of Christ to serve those in need. By providing meals, we hope to show the love of Christ to those who need help at this time."
