Where are we going to live?
​
Those words can affect a family's entire trajectory in life. When a low- to mid-income family has lost housing, it's difficult for them to acquire funds to find suitable shelter, especially for those living on fixed incomes. Many of these displaced families are hardworking, drug free and honest people. In Carroll county, these families often end up in extended-stay motels or tents with no way to take care of the bare essentials like cooking, doing laundry or bathing. They have no place to call home. These families are often under served by other non-profit agencies, who may give them food items they can't cook without access to a kitchen. They can be denied access to monetary assistance because they make just above the threshold of financial requirements, while still not making enough to move out. The longer a family remains in this no-win cycle, the less likely they are to increase their level of education or financial capabilities. This in turn creates a drain on other non-profit, state and locally funded resources. COVID-19 has only made this problem worse in our community. One Body, Many Members and Bakery27 Cafe/Little Hawaiian have partnered with others to raise funds to aid as many families as possible in finding their own place to call home.

The Heart of
One Body, Many Members
​
As the owner of Heaven in Your Home catering, LaToya Gamble has always had a heart for feeding people's souls with a word from God and feeding their stomachs with amazing food. For the last four years, LaToya and a few volunteers have been providing food and other services to children, elderly, jobless and homeless families living in extended stay areas. The COVID-19 situation has severely increased the need here in Carrollton.
Every year, LaToya and volunteers from area churches and businesses have come together to serve full-on banquets - turkey, dressing and all the fixin's - at several extended stay locations on Thanksgiving Day. She also organizes an annual One Body fellowship event for churches of all faiths to come together for food, preaching and entertainment. In 2019, fifty children received Christmas gifts. Nearly every cent earned from Heaven in Your Home catering goes right back into supplies to feed those in need in Carrollton.
One Body, Many Members is a 501(c)(3) non-profit; and as such, allows LaToya to collect much needed funds to purchase food and other supplies for those that need them. 1 Corinthians 12:12 tells us, that though we are many members, we are all part of the same body of Christ. We are all commanded to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. LaToya's heart is that our entire community - churches, businesses, friends, families and others - can unite for a common cause to take care of each other. Her heart's desire is to truly see the love of Jesus Christ change lives and to see Him move miraculously!
