It goes to supporting neighbors!
Natalie* had no food in her apartment and no transportation when she was referred to VIS. For nearly two years volunteers picked up food at a pantry or took her grocery shopping. After not hearing from Natalie for a few months, volunteers contacted her. Natalie shared she had to move and ended up in a new community where she knew no one, had no access to public transportation, no job and no support system. When she received the volunteer's call, Natalie picked up the phone and with tears in her eyes thanked the volunteers for making her feel loved and valued.
After a year in her new community, Natalie was invited to go to church and the volunteer offered to drive her. Every Saturday Natalie attended church, shopped at the food pantry after worship, attended a Bible study and began volunteering at the church two days a week! Natalie shared, "Through the love of VIS and my new church family, I know I am a child of God."
Christ's love was witnessed and the kingdom of God was built through one more sister in Christ!
