Testimonials
Amidst the harsh realities of life on the streets, a homeless couple, Sarah and Mark, found themselves struggling to find their next meal. Desperation etched on their faces, they heard about how Open Hearts and Hands of Hope assists the homeless in Lancaster. Weary and hungry, they joined the line, unsure of what to expect. As they waited, their hearts heavy with uncertainty, a glimmer of hope flickered within them.
As they reached the front of the line, volunteers greeted them with warm smiles and kind words. Plates filled with nourishing food were handed to them, and for the first time in days, their stomachs were filled. But it wasn’t just the food that nourished their souls; it was the compassion and empathy shown by the volunteers that touched them deeply.
In that moment, Sarah and Mark realized that they were not alone in their struggles. They felt a renewed sense of hope as they witnessed the generosity and support of their community. Inspired by this act of kindness, they resolved to seek more help and support, reaching out to local shelters and organizations dedicated to assisting the homeless in Lancaster. With newfound determination, they embarked on a journey towards rebuilding their lives, grateful for the spark of hope that had been ignited at the food line.
Months later, they found themselves back at the food line – this time serving others.
We are called to do this work in response to the needs of our local community, and assist the homeless in Lancaster. Our goal is to make our community stronger by meeting its needs where the community is.
