Saturday Morning Weekly Report

Many, many thanks to a large team from Northwest Church.  We needed every one of you! Our hungry Neighbors enjoyed scrambled eggs, sausages, pancakes and juice, plus burritos.  They served well over 200 plates. The NWC team served everywhere this morning.  Besides cooking, they sorted clothing, helped in the pantry, filled all of the salt […]

We could call it an “average” fourth Saturday of the month.  We know that we will have a large guest count will including several new faces.  Each “average” becomes memorable as we listen to fears or anger, and often to good news.  Each guest is welcomed and their feelings affirmed. We had a special feel-good

“It’s all about the presentation”……………. And on that clowning around note, thanks so much to Advocates Recovery Services for the beautifully presented burritos and full breakfast.  Our Neighbors enjoyed hash browns, scrambled eggs with potatoes and ham and gravy plus fruit juice and milk.

We had a smaller and really quiet crowd this morning.  Maybe the quiet was because we had Bill’s peaceful music?  Thank you, Bill, and especially thank you for bringing your mom.  We hope she enjoyed her time with us. Thank you to Advocates Recovery Services for a big, beautiful breakfast this morning! They served “the

We frequently write about the number of Neighbors that the pantry serves.  Here is a good look at the organizing and volunteer power that our Neighbors appreciate. This is a long list.  Our pantry and the volunteers who serve there are a very big deal. Members of St Philopateer St Demiana were with us this

We seem to say it every week, but once again, we noticed that there were several guest Neighbors who were new to us.  The word on the street seems to be effective and, for sure, all are welcome.  Our Neighbors are gracious guests.  The new folks introduced themselves, there was pleasant conversation at all of

It was an early full house this morning.  We were grateful to be available on a rainy “summer” morning.  One Neighbor shared with us the challenges of keeping even tightly packaged foods in your home when your home is a tent in the woods or behind a business.  Rodents are not shy.  With that description
