Having a baby is a joyful but also challenging event. Things that we take for granted, like a good meal, could become an extra burden for new parents. I am running a ministry at my church, Great Exchange Covenant Church in Fremont, called GrX Mealcare. GrX Mealcare helps new parents by providing meals within the first few months of their baby’s birth.
This month in particular, we are experiencing a higher than usual birth rate. 3 babies were born this past month alone. I’ve been busy recruiting volunteers and scheduling them in to bring meals at regular intervals. With this ministry, I hope to achieve the following:
- Immediate relief and support for new parents by providing meals.
- Building relationships by connecting volunteers with new parents.
