Instead it became a family habit and Veronica became the president of Martha's Table. It wasn't something I planned to do. I planned to get on with our lives, and do other things. But I just did stay. Martha's Table is open 365 days of the year, working with up to 100 volunteers a day, according to Veronica.
People come for two, three hours at a time.
We have to make the sandwiches, pick up the food, take the sandwiches and soup and doughnuts all out to nine different places in the city to feed people. People will come and help. People want to help. We need places to do it. Both Stacie and Veronica recall youngsters who came to pre-school, went away to college and returned as volunteers years later.
