While the event focused on helping mothers, the organization served every person in need who stopped by.
“God has blessed me to see another Mother’s Day,” a woman who attended the event said. “It’s a blessing what they’re doing.”
Apart from warm meals and hygiene products, the organization also gave away gently used clothing, gallon jugs of water, and free haircuts to those in need.
“Anything they can to show the women out here that they are supported,” Volunteer Katherine Weatherspoon said.
