Saturday Morning Weekly Report

The team from Holy Rosary Catholic Church was our burrito brigade this morning.  They slipped into the kitchen, […]

We were really and truly blessed to have the Mobile Dental Clinic with us this morning.  They served 9 of our Neighbors today for no cost dental care.  That’s a very busy 6 hours in any dental office.  In their outfitted van, they did extractions, fillings, and needs assessment exams.  For our Neighbors who need

We had a “sizable” crowd for our first Saturday of the month and the year.  Jude, John and their team gave grocery bags to 30 Neighbors and to 3 families.   How is our giving to Neighbors different from giving to families?  We volunteers bag ready-to-eat foods for our Neighbors.  This includes  cereals, “self-heating dinners”, individual

It was a privilege to end the year in service and companionship with each other and with our Neighbors. We were able to give groceries, salads, and sandwiches to 30 Neighbors and one family.  Just as important….. we provided space for our Neighbors to be at tables together to visit over coffee or hot chocolate.
