Every Sunday, the playground at College Drive in Franklin’s Ward 3 transforms into a space of warmth, unity, and hope. Families and children gather not just for the fun of the playground, but for the heartfelt outreach of Family4Eternity’s Director of Outreach, Pastor Kevin Reid. Here, Pastor Reid serves a delicious and nutritious meal to about 250 children, each plate filled with care and dedication to his community. This weekly gathering has become more than a meal; it’s a cherished time where families connect, neighbors uplift each other, and children feel the love and support of their community.
A Day of Support and Connection
The idea for these Sunday meals began with Pastor Reid’s passion for helping children feel secure, fed, and valued. Understanding that many families in Ward 3 face hardships, he wanted to provide not just food, but a sense of belonging and unity. Each Sunday afternoon, Pastor Reid, along with dedicated volunteers, sets up tables, prepares meals, and welcomes families with open arms. The meals are designed to be both filling and healthy, and the atmosphere Pastor Reid creates is one of compassion and respect.
For Pastor Reid, each meal represents an opportunity to build stronger bonds within the community. Family members often join, and there’s a sense of celebration as everyone comes together to share and give thanks. The experience leaves everyone—both children and adults—feeling uplifted and connected.
