Fellow Pax – this is a call to action.  If you only read a few words from this, my ask is that you consider helping a local business that has a passion to serve those in need in the coming days / weeks / months.  There will be a volunteer meeting at 7pm tonight at Lake Wylie Brewing (old Pasquales) out on the lawn.  

A buddy from church and I attended a volunteer meeting last night at Lake Wylie Brewing (old Pasquales).  The owner has had to lay off most of the staff (as I’m sure many restaurants are doing), but that hasn’t deterred him from trying to help the community.  See the below post on their facebook page – if you saw this guys passion to help the community, it was definitely something I want to help support.  His overarching goal right this second is to ensure no one goes hungry, so they’re making free pizza’s for families.  They need volunteers and donations ($5 buys a pizza for a family) as this thing takes a bigger shape and they expand to other means of serving (shopping for elderly, goods exchange).  Apparently the local news outlets have picked up his campaign and the expectation in the coming days with all the food shortages is that the sheer # of people in need that they can help serve is going to explode.  They are encouraging other restaurants in the area to come up w/ a “pay it forward” approach to helping their communities as well.

They’re having another volunteer meeting tonight on the lawn of the restaurant (so everyone can have their ‘social distancing’) to discuss next steps.  Folks are already stepping in to volunteer w/ delivering pizzas for families that call and order (again, free of charge).  As we are all being called to help in any way we can, I wanted to float this by the our F3 brothers in case they felt the urge to serve in another capacity within the community, and didn’t have an avenue.  Again, the meeting tonight is at 7p at the restaurant.  Thanks  all
