TLOT HOSTS 5TH ANNUAL DINING WITH DIGNITY
|
On October 11th, we hosted the 5th Annual Dining with Dignity event. We were blessed to serve approximately 115 people and it was truly an amazing day! Thank you to every person that baked, delivered food, donated food/tea/time, served alongside us, prayed for us, set up, took orders, cleaned up and showed up!
We also want to thank our sponsors as well as those that donated food and drinks: MKB, REALTORS LongHorn Steakhouse Carrabba’s Italian Grill Roanoke, Va Olive Garden Tizzone Wood-Fired Kitchen & Wine Bar McAlister's Deli Chick-fil-A Bonsack Texas Roadhouse Wings Etc. Salem Our unity project this year was a beautiful tapestry that was woven, each strand individually, by our guests and all of our volunteers. |

SCENES AROUND THE MINISTRY
|
We are beyond thankful to Eagles Nest Regeneration Inc. and Elevation Church - Roanoke for providing us with additional lockers and awnings! These lockers will allow us to bless additional unsheltered friends with a place to store their personal items while they battle homelessness.
Sometimes, it’s just the simple things! May God continue to be glorified in ALL that this ministry does! |
|
This summer, we faced an unexpected challenge. Our community spaces were becoming too hot for the people we serve, and it was determined that our current air conditioning and heating was not working appropriately. Although our landlord was unable to offer a solution and this repair was not in our budget, God provided the funding for this project through our tribe!
We would like to show our extreme gratitude to Cline Electrical and Kennard-Pace for the installation of TWO mini split units! We are SURE to be set for every season moving forward! |
