On January 16, The Ozark Region Above Store Leader Team along with HRD Laurence Kelly served lunch at the John 3:16 Mission men’s shelter kitchen. After serving the men, participants in the Women’s Shelter across town came and were served as well.  In addition, we were proud contribute and serve “American’s Favorite Pizza” for the men and women participating in different levels of  the program and the staff of John 3:16 Mission.

We heard amazing stories of how people made their way to this location and how grateful they are for all the support they’ve received from the Mission and the community to get their lives back on track. It is always amazing to see the heart of the workers who do this everyday in their community helping some amazing folks.
