Request For Food Assistance For The Poor In Delaware

February 21, 2012

Dear Steve,

I am writing to you from Delaware, a small state and of course the state of the vice-president. I am on the front lines here - working with the poor and homeless. I work at a house called Hope House I, a sheltering program for single women. As a case manager and drug and alcohol counselor, I often times get to minister to the women in a spiritual way. Although the pay isn't much, the reward of a life changed and hope restored is reward in itself. Our Ministry of Caring has many sites - including 3 dining rooms where the homeless are "served" by volunteers - no lining up for food. They are treated as guests. We also have an outreach center where individuals can come and take a shower, get clean clothing, food, diapers, baby food and other necessities. We have a home for employable men, men with disabilities, women with disabilities, those suffering from the last stages of AIDS, a Job Placement Center, a dental office and two sheltering programs for women with children. Our Ministry is $400,000 below our estimated donations for the year. Our motto is "never treat the poor poorly". I am not asking for your food donation, but your prayers as we minister to lives who have been broken, trauma that has been never been treated and souls lost to drugs, alcohol and mental illness. I truly believe that Jesus is a guest at each of our homes, coming for that drink of water, that nourishing bread for dinner.

I love your website and read it every day. I listen to Hawk faithfully. It is so important to be ready - and I believe that standing strong on the Word is what keeps me from curling up in a ball and crying with what I witness every day - I thank you for your work, your prayers and your deep faith that the God who loves us all is ever faithful to those who serve His poor.
Blessings,
Annie Mountain
