Wonderful
Facts
*
We've had over 80 volunteers helping since we opened.
* The number of households we are serving has grown over 300%!
* Each month we are surprised with offers to contribute or help
from individual neighbors, Evanston business owners, the schools,
and more. God is good!
* In 11 months we have served slightly over 10,000 families totaling almost 34,000
individuals. In March alone we served 1,456 households totaling
5,059 people. Amazing!
