Dear Feed the Hungry Donors, Sponsors, and Volunteers,
As we embrace the spirit of the season, the Christmas crib stands as a moving symbol, inviting us to contemplate the profound mystery of the Incarnation. Within this humble representation lies the awe-inspiring reality of the infinite God willingly embracing the limitations of human flesh. It's a powerful reminder of divine love, eloquently expressed through the vulnerability of an infant.
In the miraculous narrative of the Incarnation, we witness the boundless love of God manifested in the most humble and tender form—a moving reflection of God's immense love for us. This sacred season calls us to emulate this profound love and compassion by reaching out to those in need, embodying the spirit of selflessness and kindness.
It's in this spirit that we extend our deepest gratitude to you, our cherished collaborators, for your steadfast support and generous contributions to Feed The Hungry program. Your commitment echoes the divine love exemplified in the manger—a love that extends beyond limitations, transcending boundaries to nourish and uplift those facing adversity.
This cooperative effort between the Diocese of Calgary and your organizations stands as a testament to the embodiment of this love. Through your benevolence, you've not only provided crucial funds but also raised awareness, illuminating the need to care for the marginalized in our community among your families, employees, members, and friends—a reflection of the love expressed in the Christmas crib.
The steadfast delivery of our program, stabilizing to 47 Sundays from 2024 onwards while honouring necessary breaks during the Stampede, Lilac Festival, and the cherished Christmas season, showcases our collective commitment to serve with solid dedication and compassion.
Our ability to channel every cent from your sponsorships directly into the meal sessions, supported by the Diocese of Calgary for administrative and overhead costs, mirrors the selflessness inherent in the Christmas story. Additionally, the outpouring of volunteerism, adorned with loving smiles and selfless dedication, reflects the tender love encapsulated in the infant in the manger.
As we rejoice in the joyous celebration of Christmas, may the blessings of this sacred season fill your hearts with an abundance of joy, peace, and fulfillment. Your generosity and collaborative support serve as a beacon of hope, allowing us to extend the spirit of the season by nurturing and sustaining those in need.
