- [Dan] Since the startof the COVID-19 outbreak,
many churches have reachedout to their communities
to find out how they canhelp in this difficult time.
Operation Blessing partnerNew Life Church in Virginia
is distributing food andsupplies to those in need.
- We're here to answerthe cry of the community
when we hear it, and we're listening.
The church should be always listening
to what is the community asking for.
If it wasn't for Operation Blessing,
I could not answer thecry of the community.
- It has been more difficult now
because I'm a single motherand I need additional help.
- These bags contain cannedgoods and other non-perishables
plus milk, meat, and more;
pretty much everything a family needs
to keep them goingduring a difficult time.
The volunteers keep their distance
from each other and those in need
by placing food and suppliesdirectly into their cars
while the pastor talksand prays with people.
- This is our family that we're serving,
and right now is when thenation needs you the most.
- Thank you, thank you,thank you, thank you.
I can't say enough.
We need everything thatwe can get and this
truly has been a blessingand a support for my family.
