This is much better than leftovers. Today, there are about 60 diners, plus a volunteer crew of 20. The early crew cooks, sets up and serves. Volunteers who arrive just prior to dinner help serve and clean up. She just recently handed the reins to Helen Stevenson and Bertha Goodick but still is an extremely active participant.
Laughter comes from the kitchen.
The same crew always does the cooking because they enjoy it so much. They also enjoy each others company. I think we like putting this together as much as the seniors love to come here. Seniors come from all over the city to this lunch program, even though there are other weekly seniors lunches at various sites. The volunteers are from Fairview United and two local Roman Catholic churches - St. Pius and St. Lawrence.
