Stories
One gentleman by the name of Matthew Poulsen has been a long-time client of Vital Connection. He always has a jovial spirit when comes to get his meal, sometimes brining his bag of tricks like juggling balls to entertain everyone.
When asked one evening what he thought of Vital Connection, he was full of praise. “I always try to remind myself that they don’t have to be here, they don’t have to be feeding us, but they do it anyway.”
Stories like Matthew Poulsen help to encourage us to keep giving, even when you don’t think you are making a difference. The truth is that we are and our faithfulness will speak for itself.
