"Love God, Love Your Neighbor"
The Little Store
The Little Store began with a simple but powerful realization. While serving food each Saturday, Carol and Pat began to notice something deeper. Many of our brothers and sisters in need were lacking more than just a meal. Some had no shoes. Others were without warm jackets during the winter. Many did not have basic essentials like clean clothes or hygiene items. What started as an act of feeding the hungry became a call to respond to these additional needs with love and dignity. Moved by what they saw, Carol and Pat took the first step. They began collecting and distributing clothing and essential items right there on the street , creating what we now call The Little Store.
