s our client and meal numbers reach a new watermark each year, our space is simply too small to accommodate Aour growing operation. That’s why on October 19, 2011, we launched a $25M expansion campaign, for the urgent needs of the next 25 years. After careful planning and thorough analysis, the board made the unanimous and exciting decision to stay at our home on Spring Street in Soho and expand our facility.

We began a multi-year campaign to raise funds to finance the cost of construction, pay temporary relocation expenses, support the additional cost of operating a larger facility and secure the future of God’s Love.

We hope you will join us in this important endeavor.
