Hello all! This Thanksgiving at Lone Star was the most amazing outreach with the most food we’ve ever seen in one place! Our thanks go out to every one of you for all of your extra cooking this holiday! We had so many volunteers for this event and really saw the whole community pull together to make this Thanksgiving outreach a huge success! We couldn’t have done this without you!

There was such an overwhelming outpouring of giving that we ended up with more food than those in the budget suites or the local food pantry needed. After we stopped serving at Lone Star we packed it all up on a bus and drove it all to a soup kitchen in Dallas called Urban Gospel Mission. They serve 200-250 meals a day! They were very thankful to receive the food and would be serving it all to the local individuals in need. Hundreds of people would be able to have a Thanksgiving Meal because of you!

So it seems that we actually reached more people than we ever planned on. You and your donations of food fed the hungry and less fortunate in the city of Dallas as well as our neighbours in The Colony.

This was an amazing experience and we appreciate every one of you who helped in any way! Those who stood and served food and those who worked in our kitchen were incredible! Thank you to those who cooked extra meals or brought loads of donations of food to us! Thank you to those who came to serve and stayed to clean. Thank you to those who helped us organize this event and thank you Bent Tree Bible Fellowship for the van and everything you so generously brought us.

We also want to thank those at Budget Suites for allowing us to do this, and to those at The Storehouse in The Colony for sending us food, helpers and people in need of a place to go for Thanksgiving Day. 

We are hoping that those relationships that have been made as we joined hands and hearts to reach out to our community will continue to grow and that we will be able to do more in the future. We know that lives were touched.

We want Lone Star Coffee Bar to be known as a place where you can get more than just a cup of coffee. We want to be known as a place where you can find community. Thank you all for making that possible.

Thank you and God bless all of you!

Serving you through Him,

Shane and Susan and our family at home and at Lone Star
