I recently had a coversation with Ray Abbas and learned the Love Kitchen is in need of support. Ray said that the Love Kitchen had never turned away anyone, but there has been a short fall in donations this year and finances could get tough with the holidays approaching. I challenge everyone that reads this to help as you can.
