Larenda Haden (the youth with a dream) says, "while these precious children are receiving a nutritional meal each weekday they are also receiving much more; an education in the basics of language and math, learning about God through His word, and learning to just be kids, to play, to laugh, to dream…learning to hope for the first time."

Our "calling" is sure and our task is clear. As a family, our prayer rings out, "Maximize our lives for the greatest impact in a place where love and hope are needed most."
