Restaurant Delivery

This Blog is not just about restaurants and food. We love anything to better our community and nation for that matter. I met the young lady who started this charity. I personally get fired up when I meet people who have a dream and the passion to walk it out and effect change.
     Mission:
        Through Advocacy, Awareness, Community Involvement and Empowerment- Chapter of Thirst  bridges gaps between people to enable intentional investment in relationship.

        Who we are:
        Chapter of Thirst Inc is a movement of people actively engaging in the lives of those around us. We exist to connect individuals with the tools, people and essentials to live a healthy and empowered lifestyle. We seek everlasting change, and hope for all we come in contact with. We help facilitate community initiatives to create a beautiful, individually inspired and driven goal. We step into the darkness and reveal light - breaking down walls of fear, biasness, and ignorance. We believe in a beautiful Kingdom and Community. For all who are thirsty…

        Values:
        1. Community:
        We believe people were created for intentional community. Every person has talents, gifts, and aspirations that are essential for the community to flourish.
        2. Redemption:
        We tell our stories of redemption and strive for the people around us to know that the same redemption process is available to them. By shining light in dark places, we believe that all things can be made beautiful.
        3. Love:
        Through all of our actions we strive to demonstrate the love of Christ. We believe his love abounds to all people and brings healing and redemption to our lives.
        4. Advocacy:
        We speak up for those who are voiceless. We ensure that no one feels invisible or like another number in the system, that everyone feels valued and cherished.
        5. Awareness:
        We inform people of the broken and hurting parts of the world, leading people out of ignorance and into light. We strive to break down the walls of fear, biasness, shame, and defeat.
        6. Empowerment:
        We believe for permanent change to occur, all must come together in change. We value community participation, input, and contribution- allowing every voice to be a decision maker. We help harmonize communities to achieve a common goal a long side one another.
        7. Involvement:
        Continual investment in relationship is a key foundation to building community and trust. Actively engaging in goals that have been made, empowers people to seek everlasting change.
        8. Justice:
        We acknowledge the brokenness of our world at personal, local, and international levels and seek justice in all areas of it. We believe that ensuring justice is a vital step- for hope, redemption, love and community to ever flourish.
        9. Hope:
        Through all of our actions we strive to show that brokenness can be redeemed, that all things can be made beautiful. For all who are thirsty, there is hope.


        Initiatives:

        1. Chapters
        We share our testimonies of Redemption through our website so others can see the same Hope that is available in their own lives. (Based on Acts 26)

        2. Love Initiative
        Revealing light into dark places through advocacy, awareness, and community presence.
        • We host advocacy events for organizations and communities. We live in a society where ignorance has become acceptable. We are not content with the Status Quo. By shining light we believe others will also be empowered to see our world change. These events will also play into our fundraising goals.
        • We have taped the testimonies of those who have been left in poverty or without homes because of circumstance and misfortune. We share their stories with others, striving to break down the stereotypes that have been built up around us. Our goal is to meet with different organizations and churches in Orlando- speaking out for those who have been persecuted and silenced.
        • Our Volunteers meet every Saturday evening from 10pm-12am in Downtown Orlando to pass out water on the corner of Pine St and Orange Ave. We pass out 300-400 bottles every evening we meet. Our Goal is to eventually move this to events and other venues and have private labeled bottled water, allowing us to reach a broader amount of people.

        3. Short Term Vision- Collectives
        Creating environments and groups where people can come together in common interest and engage with others. The collectives allow individuals to create a network as well as be a valued part of community, creating deep impacting relationships. We encourage everyone to actively learn how to give as well as receive. These collectives will be based around skills that people can learn as well as improve on. We also will open avenues for the collectives to showcase their talents and work. We are hoping for a Spring Launch depending on facility partnership.

        4. Long Term Vision- Community Facilitation
        The key to community or individual empowerment is ownership. We facilitate community and individual change by walking through a 5- step process along side of them. At the end of the process they have created change themselves and value the project at hand. We provide the resources and networks along the way to make sure projects see completion.
        INDIVIDUAL-
        • Technical Skills training, finance, and other individual growth seminars. (Resume building, computer training)
        • Job and technical skills training and workspace available.
        • Store for people to sell and showcase work.
        • IDA Program (Allowing people to save for their lives as well as being helped) Instead of just receiving money they are also investing in their own life change.
        • Skills and Assets Assessments- Showing people their strengths and stewarding and mentoring them to grow those specific goals
        • Mentorship Program

        COMMUNITY-
        • Community Discussions on Assets and Needs
        • Facilitating Conversations on Projects
        • Helping show the community how they can put together and oversee the project
        • Partnering with local organizations and individuals who can help where the community lacks in resources and assets.
        • Facilitation can only bring in 35% of the project. This provides for the community to feel ownership over the project and than in turn will steward it well.

I think this is a great idea. I travel a lot with my son's hockey and a small child. By the time we get back to the room they are both to tired to go out and eat, therefore the baby is upset most of the time. Not a good experience. Can't wait till it comes to Jacksonville Florida

This will be the second time that we are ordering through GoWaiter.com. Both times we ordered from Pickles Deli & Restaurant in Longwood. I hope some day you will be able to add Olive Garden, Longhorn Steak House and Denny's to your list of restaurants to choose from.

I like it. I was able to put a note to say that I don't want bacon in my salad and I could tip the driver. I didn't see that part the first time I used this. What about adding Tilted Kilt??

The Gowaiter Crew served today at The Church at Oak Level in Ocoee,FL. Once a month The members of The Church get together and help the Community by operating a Food Bank. A Food Bank or Foodbank is a non-profit, charitable organization that distributes mostly donated food to a wide variety of agencies that in turn feed the hungry. The largest sources of food are for-profit growers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers who in the normal course of business have excess food that they cannot sell. After sorting and inventory, a food bank distributes the food to 100 to 1,000 non-profit community or government agencies, including but not limited to food pantries. The Church At Oak Level has very committed members that help not only once a month but some who even contribute weekly. It was a great exp being able to help with getting the boxes of food ready to go for Tomorrow. Friday's are when they package all of the Food up and Saturday Mornings Is when they distribute it!! My Opinion is Fridays are a fun time to get to know the members of the Church. But Saturday Mornings are very moving and give you something to be thankful for!! Thanks for letting the crew at Gowaiter North Orlando come and serve!!
