Monday Meals at Word of Life Ministries
December 1, 2025 Thank God for Chef Randell and Lisa Amedee for not only sponsoring last night’s Monday Meals, but also preparing Randell’s Cajun red Beans and rice. The menu was Red Beans and Rice, salad, cornbread and Little Debbie desserts. Thank You Rooted Ginger Farm for supplying the organic lettuce for the salads. Thank You McKee Foods for your generous donations for our desserts.
It may have been cold with snow flurries but it didn’t stop all of us from coming together to share a meal, friendships, community and fellowship. A big shout out to all of our great volunteers that worked in the mobile kitchen, the serving line, greeting our guests, food runners and especially those washing all of the dishes.
This Giving Tuesday, You Can Make a Real Difference
We want to bring your attention to an issue we cannot overlook. Food insecurity is a growing concern in our state—over 500,000 Arkansans are struggling to access consistent, nutritious meals. This is a crisis that demands action.
At Feed My Sheep Squared, we are committed to fighting food insecurity while building community. In just the last year and a half, we have served over 7,000 free meals to individuals and families in need.
Because our meals cost less than $3 per plate, every $100 donated provides 33 free meals. Every dollar truly stretches to feed God’s people.
And here’s what makes it possible:
We are 100% volunteer-run and 100% donation-driven. Your generosity directly puts food on the table for those who need it most.
This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to partner with us.
Together, we can feed more, reach more, and show God’s love in a practical way.
Thank you for giving, sharing, and caring.
