Hunger Doesn’t Take a Snow Day
Ben Vitale
This morning I was looking out of my window at the snow. The
snow was coming down and accumulating at a fast rate! It just occurred to me
that the Lighthouse Mission is supposed to distribute food for the needy, today
in Patchogue. It’s snowing, what are the needy people going to do? Nobody goes
out in this bad weather!
I must admit… I was concerned, so I did something that I
have never done before… I drove to the Lighthouse Mission food distribution site,
on Terry Street, to see what was going on! Upon arriving at the distribution
site, I saw the people from the Lighthouse Mission, standing in the snow,
giving out food for the needy!
I was amazed… The Lighthouse Mission did not take a snow day…
They just set-up their distribution point, in the snow, and continued to give
out food in spite of the inclement weather! It’s true… Hunger doesn’t take a
snow day, and neither does the Lighthouse Mission! What a blessing!
Please visit the lighthouse Mission web site to learn more
about the Mission! In addition to food distribution the Lighthouse Mission also
has many youth programs. Young adults and children are taken from dysfunctional
neighborhoods and given the opportunity to participate in activities such as Kayaking,
bike riding, and sailing. These activities are life changing, and are not
possible on the streets!
