The type of food served during the annual Love Token free community meal will be different this year. How it is served will change. Even when it is served will not be the usual.
Still, Teri Clawson, one of the annual event organizers is grateful to be able to get the event back in play after having to cancel the annual meal in December 2020 when she became sick with COVID-19. No matter what is served, how it is served or when, the mission of helping feed those in need and bringing the community together is what it s all about, she said.
Teri Clawson created the nonprofit Love Token to feed the homeless
The Dispatch
Traveling the roads in Davidson County, Teri Clawson is always staring out the window into wooded areas looking for moving shadows of humans or the outline of a tent. Especially if I am a passenger in a car, I am staring out the window wondering if I see a tent just through the trees, or was that a person walking, said the Welcome community resident. I wonder if other people do that. I can t help it. It s what I do.
Clawson is the founder of Love Token, a Davidson County charity dedicated to helping the homeless, particularly those who cannot or will not go to Davidson County First Hope Ministry homeless shelters in Lexington, formerly called Crisis Ministry.
