I have witnessed Least of These volunteers and staff in action and it continuously warms my heart with the number of hours contributed to serve those in our community in need of food, clothing, and other services (often by referral). A homeless couple came in, near closing, and asked for food to get them to the East Coast for a mother’s funeral. They received several days of food, much of which didn’t require cooking and all easily transported in a cooler (also provided by LET), as well as a few changes of clothes and something suitable to attend a funeral. Amazing!
