For years, we have had supporters come by our facility to serve a meal and break bread with our men. While this was a fairly regular occurrence before the pandemic, we now want to make this a formal tradition at Matthew 25. Our goal is to have individuals, congregations, restaurants and community groups provide and serve dinner for all 52 Sundays of the year.
Not only would this support Matthew 25 financially and operationally, but more importantly it would give a weekly boost to the spirit and morale of the men we serve. It is hard to describe how much simple camaraderie can improve the outlook of a man who is working through personal adversity.
These dinners would serve as a regular reminder that there are countless folks in the community who care for them, believe in them, and want to back them on their road to recovery. This type of personal, intimate encouragement provides a level of support that you simply cannot measure in dollars.
Our Sunday Dinners initiative offers regular opportunities to support the men we serve, and we feel that it will be a great way for us to reestablish a sense of normalcy in our program. We are excited to reconnect and work with the wonderful people and organizations here in Middle Tennessee that have been eager for new ways to partner with us.
