3)Pastor William Holloway with The Little Rock Compassion Center a nonprofit organization providing homeless, disadvantaged and chemically dependent people with food and clothing, as well as Biblical counseling, guidance and most importantly, the gift of HOPE. The Little Rock Compassion Center is privately funded by caring individuals and businesses. The kitchen has been running full blast for months, serving an average of 600 meals a day, and it needs a deep clean. So rather than missing a meal, the cooks will be grilling up lunch outside this Saturday while the work is going on. The plan is to cook up hotdogs and baked beans for lunch. Cooking and serving will happen outside on the parking lot – rain or shine. Breakfast and dinner will be served out of the kitchen that day as usual. Pastor Holloway says he expects a couple of hundred for the midday meal. Call 501-831-2340 to volunteer or donate.
