I had never heard of Kalamazoo Loaves and Fishes until now, but I am happy that I have learned of this place! I firmly believe that doing something for someone who can do nothing in return is one of the greatest things a person can do. KLF is one of those places. It was established in 1982 by several local church congregations whose mission was to help those in need. Over time KLF has grown with the addition of many more church congregations, they now serve all of Kalamazoo County. Their services include help for those without a means to eat, assistance to the elderly as well as providing food packs for children in need. The website itself gave a very good overview of exactly what KLF is and does and I'm glad that I read through it. Places like KLF remind me that their are still plenty of good people in the world. I don't believe enough help is given to those who need it and places such as KLF should be constructed in every place possible.

It would be cool to see more organizations like this start up. Or for this one to expand.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with your statement that doing something for someone who is in need is one of the greatest things a person can do. I was raised to do nice things for people who are in need and it always makes me so good to see someone smile when you do that one thing.
ReplyDeleteI really liked that the guide mentioned how there are plans being put into place to bring a food pantry closer to campus. I don't think many people realize how many college students actually need grocery assistance. I think it's a great idea and they'll get a ton of support.
