MACON, Ga. — The Loaves & Fishes Ministry is unveiling its new back patio. It's meant to be a place for the homeless community to sit and enjoy their meals away from the elements.
They invited the mayor, church partners, and board members as well as their clients for the ribbon cutting Monday. Jake Ferro, the executive director of Loaves & Fishes, says they have fans set up for the summer heat, and there will be heaters for when it gets cold.
Ferro says the patio space will also be available for Bible class, basic skills education classes, and more.
Roy Ware has counted on Loaves & Fishes for a few years now.
"I congratulate them for doing a wonderful job and being a strong part of uplifting the community," Ware said.
Ferro says they also hope to restore an old shower and have it up and running by Thanksgiving.
