When I grow up I want to a be a Super Hero!

"The world can give you a job, and a job can be taken away. But a true calling puts you in a career zone that cannot be taken away. It reflects your willingness to do what you feel inwardly led to do in order to help heal the world. The universe then registers your true substance, your true seriousness, and your true purpose.

Some things you do will bring forth worldly wealth; other things you do will not directly bring forth wealth at all, but -- being the right thing to do -- will summon wealth miraculously from other sources."
- The Law of Divine Compensation

I feel this way about my job. It brings me wealth that no paycheck could ever possibly provide. Where else can I meet incredible people who put so much into helping others with such conviction, love, and purple capes...

This is HUNGERMAN! HungerMan represents and is friends with Clyde Sdale, owner of the Double D Diner, the worlds only virtual diner fighting hunger. Their slogan "Don't Eat It, Donate It!"

HungerMan goes from town to town giving out donations from the Double D Diner to charities such as ours. He arrives in a cape and mask like a super hero! We were honored and blessed to have HungerMan grace our doorsteps on Thursday, December 13. 

He was sincerely interested in what we do, how we do it and why. We loved that he asked questions and wanted to look around. We were more than happy to give him a tour! 

We also admired his fashion sense and are now in the process of trying to find his clothing designer, but to no avail...that also seems to be top secret!! He left us with a $300 cash donation but more than that, he left us with a feeling of being special. Special enough to be chosen by the Double D Diner by the owner Clyde Sdale. There are so many wonderful charities out there, and they choose us! For that, we thank you HungerMan and    Mr. Clyde Sdale!

Who was that masked man?!?

Open on Wednesday

We hope everyone got through Hurricane Sandy, Tropical Storm Sandy, Ill Tempered Storm Sandy (she certainly changed her mind and mood a lot) over the past few days with as little damage as possible. To all who did not, especially those who live on the affected coastal areas, our thoughts and prayers go out to them.

We will be opening up our doors to resume operations tomorrow on Wednesday, October 31st. We are not sure what to anticipate as far as our regular deliveries go, because we will not be able to contact places like the Food Bank of Delaware until we get arrive in the morning to find out what shape the FBD is in.
We look forward to seeing folks and hope everyone can make it in. If you are scheduled this week and cannot make it, due to "Sandy," we understand! But please give us a call, so we know not to expect you and can try to find a substitute for you this week. Try contacting your Program Manager first, since they are the ones who schedule you, but if you cannot get through to them, please contact me, the Volunteer Coordinator, Cher Frampton at (302) 654-8886, ext 107 or cframpton@lcsde.org.

Thank you so much for your patience and we look forward to seeing everyone again!

LCS Storm Closing Information (Hurricane Sandy)

Dear Friends,

We are closed today (Monday, October 29th) and we will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, October 30th as we ride out Hurricane Sandy. At this point we cannot make any predictions on what will happen on Wednesday, but we are hopeful we can return to providing services. Hurricane Sandy is going to be the one who dictates when and what will happen.

Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers and that we will return as soon as it is possible. Please check this blog for any updates, as we will post them as they become available (providing there is power to do so.)

For updates and to track the storm, visit:  wunderground.com.

Stay safe, stay dry, stay home and please follow any instructions our officials give. If they tell you to evacuate, please do so. Take this storm seriously! 

God Bless,

The Staff of LCS
