Providing meals twice a week on Monday and Wednesday, a team of volunteers served 500 to 700 people each day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The first couple weeks, we were giving out sandwiches to about 100 people,&#8221; says Darcy Gunter, co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livingbridgesministry.org\/\">Living Bridges Ministry<\/a>. &#8220;I knew the numbers would grow, and I wanted to provide a hot meal\u2014at least part of the time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As predicted, the numbers climbed quickly, and Gunter knew she needed assistance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t have a kitchen big enough, and the numbers were starting to reach 300 each day,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s when Randy DeCoudres, owner of three successful restaurants\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/www.saltysnappervaldosta.com\/\">The Salty Snapper,<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.friendsgrilleandbar.com\/\">Friends Grille + Bar,<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.woodstackbbqtavern.com\/\">Woodstack BBQ Tavern<\/a>\u2014entered the picture.<\/p>\n<p>It was a perfect connection. Gunter was trying to feed hundreds of people, and DeCoudres had the resources and time available.<\/p>\n<p>With the state&#8217;s mandated restrictions on eating establishments, DeCoudres had one restaurant temporarily closed and two offering only curbside service.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was providing daily family meals for my staff while they couldn&#8217;t work,&#8221; says DeCoudres. &#8220;But I was also looking for other ways to give back to the community.<\/p>\n<p>With about 90 employees furloughed, DeCoudres wanted to make sure their families had food. When local businesses found out about the family dinners, they offered to sponsor a meal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Chip O&#8217;Steen, with O&#8217;Steen Subaru, asked if he could sponsor a meal,&#8221; DeCoudres says. &#8220;I gave him a shout-out on social media, and the next thing I know, we had over 60 people and businesses wanting to sponsor family meals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From the overwhelming responses, DeCoudres was able to extend the meals to employees at other restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The sponsorships were generating some money, and I knew I wanted to do more to help,&#8221; he says. &#8220;About that same time, I talked to Dane Boruff, who had been a chef at The Salty Snapper, and he told me about Living Bridges Ministry and how Darcy was working around the clock feeding over 300 people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3004\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3004\" data-attachment-id=\"3004\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sgamag.com\/index.php\/2020\/09\/08\/bridging-the-need-for-food\/img_6443\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6443-scaled.jpg?fit=1707%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1707,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS REBEL T5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1597184024&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;43&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_6443\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6443-scaled.jpg?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6443-scaled.jpg?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-3004\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6443.jpg?resize=300%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6443-scaled.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6443-scaled.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6443-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6443-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6443-scaled.jpg?resize=1365%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1365w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_6443-scaled.jpg?w=1707&amp;ssl=1 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3004\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Hundreds of volunteers helped Living Bridges Ministry serve meals to families in the community<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>After grilling hamburgers for one of the lunches, DeCoudres started providing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livingbridgesministry.org\">Living Bridges Ministry<\/a> with kitchen space, staff, and food.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Randy cooked the lunches and provided 90 percent of the food,&#8221; says Gunter. &#8220;He also helped us get a lot of supplies we needed like gloves and hand sanitizers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joining DeCoudres, other local restaurants and businesses donated food, including Big Nick&#8217;s, Kelsey&#8217;s Bake Away, Jimmy Johns, Panera Bread, Chick-fil-A North Valdosta, Pizza Hut, and Pepsi-Cola Bottling.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The first time Randy came, he saw the long line of people and became involved and never looked back,&#8221; says Gunter. &#8220;Even when his restaurants opened back up, he still helped us prepare hot meals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From March through August, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livingbridgesministry.org\/\">Living Bridges Ministry<\/a> served more than 64,000 sack meals.
