This is the fabulous Luz Y. She is not originally from Flint, MI (Like so many, I mean there are really a ton of people here in the city that have come and have stayed because they like it here, Huh?) Either way, she lives here now and ... she is amazing. Wife, mother, grandmother (I don't want to label her as a preacher's wife) but also a Minister in her own right. Yes, her husband is a Presbyterian Minister (Married 30 years).... but Luz charges ahead in her own work... volunteering and organizing food events to feed the people in Flint that need to eat... what's amazing about it though is her ability to serve and get right in there with the people she serves and she gets to know them. What's more amazing (aside from the fact the church/people she serves with (First Presbyterian Church of Flint) prepares 125 meals per week) is she makes a huge point to remember the names of the people she's serving. She said it is very important. She was pumping gas and ran into a gentleman she knew from FPC's Sunday breakfasts and called him by name. He was surprised but it also made him smile. It proves anyone is welcome to eat where she is serving. Anyone. She wants everyone to feel at home at her table.
