A Story of Hope and Community: Remembering Aaron Evans

- Aaron became a beloved member of our church and community and just blossomed once we made connection with him through meal deliveries.
- The collaborative spirit of Aaron Meals and Forgotten Coast Community Church helped provide Aaron with a peaceful and dignified home in his final years.
- A subset of our team provided in-home hospice care for Aaron as he passed away on Easter Sunday at sunrise.

Volunteer Spotlight: Kate Johnson - The Heart of Eastpoint Deliveries!

From lunchtime to after dinner, she lovingly prepares nutritious meals, ensuring they are ready to bring comfort and sustenance to our recipients.

Following her time in the kitchen, Kate embarks on her delivery route, where she has formed meaningful connections with the individuals she serves – connections that go beyond just a meal.
