The FELC team gathered last Saturday to provide the meal at the Micah 6 drop-in center at University Baptist Church. A steady stream of hungry diners lined up for full plates of cheesy beef enchilada casserole, rice, pinto beans with vegan chorizo, roasted corn salad, and chips with guacamole and salsa. Brian Neidig provided the entree. Jackie Chuter, Kristin Mondy and Heidi Goebel pitched in with sides and Marilynn Olsen made sopapilla cheesecake bars for dessert. Brian, Jackie, and Andy Maclaren (Micah 6 Board member) stayed to serve the meal.
First English has been an enthusiastic participant with this ministry for many years. Young people have been touched by God’s love through appetizing and nutritious food, friendly smiles, and unconditional care. To learn more or participate in the next meal, contact Heidi Goebel, heidigoebel@sbcglobal.net. It’s easy, fun, and provides a meaningful service to young people in the Austin area.
After receiving a wonderful home-cooked meal, youth/young adults can visit the supply closet to get pants, shirts, socks, shoes, and jackets. Donations of women’s and men’s short sleeved shirts, small women’s clothing and larger men’s clothing are needed at this time. Thanks for helping!
