On Friday, Jan. 3, the Apostolic Lighthouse Church Community Action Team (CAT) came together to feed the residents at The Arc in Live Oak. This is the second time the church has utilized it’s CAT team to serve the people of the community.
“Pastor Bell had a burden for this place,” Travis West, who works with the CAT team, said. “His aunt was a resident at The Arc and really wanted to give back to them, so he said, ‘Let's go ahead and do it’.”
West said that this is the second time the CAT team has been able to help feed the community. In November, the team served a lunch of hamburgers, chips and desserts to the Live Oak Police Department.
“It was a pleasant surprise to us,” said Lakesha Williams, manager at The Arc. “We were informed about it the previous day, and we were able to make sure everyone could be fed.” The original plan for the organization was to go on an outing, however, due to the cold weather, most of the residents chose to stay in.
The church hopes to continue feeding local organizations and agencies, with plans to feed local first responders in the near future.
