hawn Smith and her
S family husband Casey
and twins Nathan and
Shelby are known to go
above and beyond to help
those in need. Whether it is co-
founding SOL Food Ministry
with friend Amanda Bench or
organizing props for plays, the
Smith family is there.
The heart of a servant is
how Bench described Shawn as
someone, who even through a
trying time, has put others first.
“God just put it on my heart,
even before Casey spent time
in the ICU,” Bench said. “You
know Shawn —— she is the most
humble person. I knew she had
been struggling, not because
she was saying she needed help,
but because I could see it.”
According to Bench, when
her husband, Darren, passed
suddenly, the Smiths went
out of their way to help her,
bringing her meals and just
making sure she was alright-
“She was constantly there;
she has such a heart for people,”
Bench said. “Anytime someone
needs a meal, she never says no,
even if she is struggling herself.
She has a servant’s heart, and
she has passed it onto her kids.”
The outpouring of support
from the community over the
past two weekends, Bench
and Smith both said, has
been astounding, and they
couldn’t have asked for a better
result to the impromptu drive-
up fundraisers.
“The first weekend, we
sold 120 orders of chili in 1.5
hours,” Bench said. “It was
amazing and brought tears to
Shawn’s eyes.”
She noted that Shawn is not
a crier, but the love and support
from the community that she
has dedicated herself to was
enough to make the tears flow.
“She is just there for
everyone else, and to see
the community come out to
support her was beautiful,”
Bench said, with a tear in her
eye. “I can’t think of another
family that deserved the com-
'munity’s support more during
this holiday season.”
"i
We know a
thing or two,
because we’ve
seen a thing or
tWO.
While 2020 has been tough for
everyone, the Smith family has
faced additional setbacks. From
the loss of a father to intensive
care unit stays, the family has
seen their challenges.
Despite all the hurdles , they
have still made it their goal to
help others. SOL has delivered
countless meals to quarantined
families. The family is always
first to volunteer to help another
in need and, through it all, they
.have remained positive.
A trained chef and former
caterer, Shawn has always
enjoyed bringing people
together with food. So, Bench
said, what better way to help
the Smith family than to raise
: funds to make 2020 a little
less painful.
With COVID-19 health
orders limiting the number of
people who can gather, a tra-
ditional fundraiser would be a
little tricky and far more work
than normal. The solution,
Bench said, was a drive-up
fundraiser over two weekends,
featuring different meals pre-
pared by Shawn.
