During her six
years as Executive Director of Daily Bread, Sue Holaday
devoted her energies to feeding those in need, and to "mothering"
and encouraging them, urging them to treat one another honestly
and fairly, finding medical care for them, paying out of
her own pocket for temporary housing on occasion. Daily
Bread was Sue's daily passion and love, a soup kitchen and
food bank in Melbourne, Florida, serving 200 to 220 meals
each day and supplying 26 other agencies with food for redistribution
to the hungry.
At the prime
of her service to the poor, Sue took ill in March, 2006.
She was diagnosed with cancer. Her battle with the disease
ended August 9, 2006. Such was her renown as a voice for
the poor and homeless in the community that two memorial
services were attended by hundreds of friends and mourners,
including many of the clients she loved so dearly.
In Sue's memory,
Daily Bread has begun the Sue Holaday Memorial Endowment
Fund to help assure ongoing services to those in need. A
Melbourne family, wanting to encourage gifts from the community,
has offered a $50,000 "challenge". Every dollar
you contribute will be matched by a dollar from the family's
Challenge Fund. If Daily Bread can raise $50,000 for the
Sue Holaday Endowment, we will receive matching $50,000.
Please honor
Sue Holaday with your gift today and help us secure this
wonderful opportunity.
