250+ People Saved
at Pop-Up Grocery Distribution
Saddleback's drive-thru grocery distribution events
continue to be a place
where our church can meet
the physical, emotional,
and spiritual needs
of those in our communities
who are hurting
during this global pandemic.
At a recent event
in Santa Ana,
our volunteers not only provided
groceries for hundreds of families -
more than 250 people
decided to put their faith
in Jesus for the first time.
It is clear
that food is not the only reason
God is bringing people
to our grocery distributions.
He is bringing people
to these events
so they can meet him.
One volunteer
at the drive-thru event
started speaking
with a mother and her son,
who were in a car
waiting to receive groceries.
The woman explained
that they had fallen
on hard times,
the son was the sole provider
for their family,
and they didn't have enough food
to eat.
A couple of days
prior to our event,
the family had attempted
to receive groceries
at a different food bank
unrelated to Saddleback.
But they were abruptly turned away
after waiting
for three hours.
The woman explained
how the interaction
at the other food bank
left her and her family feeling
like they were unimportant.
A neighbor recommended
the family try going
to one of our grocery distribution events
after she explained her
unfortunate experience.
The woman went on to say
that everyone
at our drive-thru
treated her
with love and respect -
she felt like
she was someone
again.
Our volunteer prayed
with the woman and her son,
and they both decided
to accept Jesus
as their Lord and Savior.
Another volunteer spoke
with a woman
who seemed very anxious and upset
while waiting
in line at the event.
She explained
that she had been let down
by a lot of people
in her life
and that she was angry
because she felt like
she needed a husband
to take care of her,
especially during this crisis.
Our volunteer had the opportunity
to share with the woman
that she, too, was single
and how she trusts Jesus
to take care of her.
The two women discussed
in detail
what it means to be a Christian,
and the woman
ultimately decided to put her faith
in Christ.
NEWS YOU CAN USE In a crisis like this,
it's common
for misinformation to spread,
and it can be difficult
to figure out whom and what
to trust.
Here are some reliable resources
that can connect you
with accurate and helpful information.
