When disaster hit Swannanoa, North Carolina, Mrs. Vicki didn’t just keep cooking. She paused her business and opened her heart to her neighbors, turning The Breakfast Shoppe into a place of comfort and connection. Just seven months after opening, she stepped up when her community needed it most. People came not just for food but for hope and healing. We came to lend a hand, but Mrs. Vicki lifted all of us. Her story is a powerful reminder that real strength comes from putting others first.
