Faith, Hope, and Open Hands
God is so good, and our community shows up big every single time!
Whether we are loading trucks, praying over families, or sorting fresh produce, history changes when people choose to care. This month, as we reflect on International Day of Charity, we are reminded that behind every meal and every box is prayer, faith, and the unconditional love of Jesus. Meeting immediate needs with open hands is at the heart of what we do.
Because of your generous support and donations, we’ve been able to reach thousands of families-and we are just getting started!
September By the Numbers
52,859 pounds of food distributed
402 families served
67 dedicated volunteers
10 local partner organizations
Behind every single one of those numbers is a real neighbor, a stocked pantry, and an intentional reminder that no one has to face hard seasons alone.
To our 67 volunteers who hauled, packed, prayed, and smiled- and the 10 community organizations who partnered with us, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! We simply could not do this without you.
Volunteer Spotlight: Yolanda Gonzalez
Meet Yolanda Gonzalez, one of the warm, welcoming faces who makes i58 feel like family to everyone who arrives on distribution days.
Introduced to i58 through Royal Haven and Carol Dorman, Yolanda shares a deep, meaningful history with this mission. Her late husband, Ruben, served faithfully alongside our team before his passing in 2019, and Yolanda continues that shared legacy of service with unmatched joy, dedication, and grace.
On any given distribution day, you will find Yolanda enrolling new neighbors, managing check-ins, and making phone calls to remind families to pick up their food. But her ministry goes far beyond paperwork. She takes the time to learn our families’ names. She greets and hugs their children. She stops to pray over heavy hearts and follows up personally whenever someone shares a need.
When asked how she hopes to serve i58 moving forward, her answer was simple: “Keep serving with all my heart, hands, feet, and soul. Come volunteer. Working for God serving others is the greatest reward.”
Yolanda, thank you for loving our community so intentionally and reflecting the heart of Jesus week after week. We are truly blessed to serve alongside you!
