Partnering with St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church Community to Serve 400 Meals

“To share a meal with families having a hard time during this pandemic, and also just to share and bring joy to the community. To bring the community together also by working with other organizations and churches. Our church does a lot of outreach so people are very appreciative. We served 3173 meals from August – December. We have always had a community meal which use to be once a month, potluck, and thrift shop open on a Saturday. It was to have fellowship to bring people together. We as a church has grown to help with building this community meal. What’s funny is we have people waving at the side of our entrance, and people are drawn to just drive in. They don’t know why they did, but than they find out they get a meal for the family. We want everyone to know they don’t have to be homeless or unemployed to be welcome at our meal. That smile and a wave makes people happy.” Kathy Matsuda of St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church, Kapaau, HI.
