Volunteer Spotlight: The Weleski Family
Our most recent spotlight features a family that embodies the heart of i58: Justin Weleski, Julia Weleski Fu, and their sons Greg (9) and Clark (6).
The Weleskis moved to Farmers Branch in July 2025 and were drawn to i58 after seeing the line of cars on Valley View Lane. They were thrilled to find a ministry where their young sons could serve alongside them.
Recently, Greg and Clark took the initiative to support the mission by running a cookies-and-hot-cocoa stand in their neighborhood. They created flyers and went door-to-door, ultimately raising $187 for i58 Ministry. As Julia shared, “If you feel God is calling you to serve, follow that calling, and you will be spiritually blessed as you bless others”.
Looking Forward to 2026
As we celebrate our 11th anniversary this year on February 7! What began with only twelve families has grown tremendously. Today, we serve hundreds each month, providing not just food but also diapers, birthday bags, and bilingual study Bibles.
