A generous, hot breakfast greeted another large crowd this morning.  Thank you to the team from Holy Rosary Catholic Church for biscuits and gravy, sausage links, choice of fresh fruits, choice of beverages, and a selection of carefully warmed Cottage Bakery pastries.  This was luxury.  We all thank you. Speaking of the kitchen, all of […]

Our guests were certainly in the mood for burritos this morning.  As they came in the asked if the burritos were ready.  Even before they got their coffee! Our team from Edmonds Universalist Unitarian Congregation must have had “a feeling”.  They made up extras and every single one was gone well before the end of

Seems like it is no longer true that we see fewer guests at the first of the month and higher numbers as the weeks go by.  We welcomed a crowd  There wasn’t time to count this morning, but we refilled the clean plate dispenser at least three times.  That would amount to roughly 150 breakfasts. 

The pantry must have had a promotional sale this morning!  They delivered bags of groceries, salads and fruit, sandwiches, bread and peanut butter, plus beverages to 104 Neighbors.  When you are that busy, you lose track of how many beloved pets you serve, but they do remember that it was a BUNCH .  The team also

It seemed to be kind of a fast day today.  Neighbors came in, got coffee, visited the pantry, grabbed a burrito and were gone.  Very few stayed to chat. Our pantry served 93 Neighbors ( a 20 count increase over last week) and one family box.  And, of course, they  served beloved pets.  They gave

Please take a look at the attachment.  Jude brought in a Christmas poem that defines our Saturday mornings.  If Jesus visited, there is no doubt that he would happily stay for a burrito. NiN mornings start at 6:30 AM sharp!  A self appointed committee of Neighbors are on hand to set up all of the

Our pantry uses green, environmentally friendly plastic bags to assemble foods for our Neighbors.  When it’s cold and pouring rain, this is what some need to do to be dry.  This photo shows him on his way to our clothing bank to look for “no-leak” shoes. We are blessed to have a clothing bank and

Asking for grace if this report makes absolutely no sense.  The morning was super crowded and busy but in a richly rewarding way.  Every single volunteer (actually as they always are) was the true spirit of Christmas. (And now they each need a nap) Our team from Holy Rosary Catholic Church fed the multitudes this
