On July 31, 2020, the Lotus Light Charity Kitchen served its first meal to the needy. After hours of preparation by five volunteers, the kitchen table was full of freshly prepared sandwiches, HK borscht soup, cake and desserts, and fresh fruit. Although it was a simple meal, this was the first time that the LLCS volunteers were preparing a quantity of food to feed hundreds of people. 
Bronwyn, the kitchen aid who assisted in serving meals to the vulnerable, was ecstatic and told kitchen volunteers how lovely their meals were. “It’s wonderful! That’s the best meal I got for the group I served during this pandemic.”
Bronwyn told LLCS volunteers that there are roughly 300 individuals who suffer from poverty within the community who need our support, prompting the requirement for the kitchen to help alleviate food insecurity for the vulnerable. While few generous individuals in the community seldom bring them hot coffee and sandwiches, it is up to organizations like the LLCS to offer them food that meets their nutritional needs.
The vulnerable population has expressed their gratitude for the LLCS and other good samaritans who help them get through their day. The LLCS is grateful to be able to help community members in need and extends a sincere thanks to its volunteers, corporate and individual sponsors, and community partner organizations for making these programs possible.
