GIVING BACK TENFOLD In the midst of the global pandemic, stories arose that warmed our hearts, from an Italian couple caught dancing to “Cheek to Cheek” on their balcony to teachers traveling to their students’ homes to help them through a difficult math problem. While many of these good news stories are taking place all across the globe, plenty of good news is happening right here in Williamsburg, Virginia. Rising up to help the community is Williamsburg House of Mercy. Their mission is to provide “quality compassionate human services to all people, especially the most vulnerable, regardless of faith.” Their volunteers feed families in need, help find housing for homeless people, and provide emergency assistance and supportive services to individuals who are struggling. When cases of COVID-19 began to appear in the U.S. and our state was put under stay-at-home orders, the Williamsburg House of Mercy leapt into action. Determined to support the community as much as they could, volunteers came together to give back to the community and encourage donations. Williamsburg House of Mercy put on many local food drives and were overwhelmed with the amount of support.
of Mercy made around 350 meals each day and distributed them from their community kitchen and local businesses. The team also managed to give over 28,000 diapers and feminine hygiene items to families who were struggling to afford them. None of these would have been given out if it weren’t for our community’s donations or the thousands of volunteers who joined us to help so many people. As the country and the world recovers from COVID-19, Williamsburg House of Mercy will continue to work hard and dedicate themselves to the people of our city for years to come.

DAD JOKE
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 F. In a medium bowl, combine chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder. Roll each chicken piece into the spices and wrap in bacon. Place in a 10-inch skillet or a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the tops with brown sugar. 2. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until chicken reads 165 F and is no longer pink. I like to broil the tops of my chicken for 1-2 minutes to crisp the bacon at the end. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Recipe Notes *You can also use tenders; I just like being able to wrap the bacon completely around the chicken.
