Rose is one of our front desk ladies. She knows most of the clients and is one of the first faces they see when they walk into the pantry. She also serves on our Board. Rose is there every time we are open, greeting clients with a smile. She has a servant's heart and truly cares about the people that walk through our doors. Our pantry would not be possible were it not for dedicated people like Rose.
This is a bit unusual for the highlight of a client, but her story is so inspirational that I felt it needed to be shared. Last August a cut on Katherine's foot was exposed to a flesh eating bacteria which caused her to have her leg amputated. Through the whole process she has praised God and accepted His plan for her. In early September she was fitted with a special prosthetic which allowed her to walk again. Her survival was a miracle and the smile that you see in this picture shows the spirit that this lady possesses.
For the second year Chris has been instrumental in getting our hunger garden started. Chris grows all her own plants from seed and donates them to us. She also brings lots of extra plants for our patrons and routinely donates bounty from her own large garden. Chris worked with us a few months ago to decide what we would plant. She also came and participated in our annual planting day with some local grandparents and their grandchildren to ensure everything was planted correctly. Chris is the one I call with garden questions, and I so appreciate her dedication to our ministry.
