Bartow, Georgia, where it all began, wasn't even a dot on the map when my grandmother was born in the early 1900s.  Nonetheless, she found a way to make a difference.  She was a firm believer in basic happiness for all, which prompted her to help those in need.  She crafted homemade dolls for kids in need, prepared meals for those in the neighborhood, and taught children and adults alike how to read. 

She passed that love of people onto her daughter, my mother, Lillie.  

​

Lillie picked up the baton and figuratively, ran with it.  She is of strong faith and believes in life's blessings.  Lillie was the founder of the Golden Ministry at her church, which collected clothing and monetary donations as well as prepared meals and care packages for those in need for over 3 decades.  She also taught 2nd grade for more than 30 years in the same neighborhood and passed along her love of people to me.

​

One of my passions is to cook for others.  I also like to do what I can to lift their spirits through food and faith. 

Lillie, at 90 years of age, founded Place Your Order as a way to embrace my love of cooking and further our shared desire to help others. 

Through sales and donations, Place Your Order contributes 10% of their profit to Lillie's namesake and non-profit, Lillie's Love.
