Here, restaurant owner Kim Hibbs (standing, center), flanked by volunteers Cindy Madison, left, and Kira Madison, right, served Betty Richardson, Lesley Space and Nancy Myer (seated from left). “What a glorious day we have had. We had so many volunteers who gave so much. We lost count of how many we served. Needless to say, the Lord provided all we needed and blessed us again and again.
