We invite the lonely and isolated to share a meal with us, to enjoy a safe place to interact with their neighbors and receive a listening compassionate ear. We encourage neighbors to help each other. We encourage neighbors to come and work together for their common benefit. After all, helping someone else feels GOOD, and is something that anyone can do regardless of income or needs. Our neighbors do most of the labor of setting up and distributing grocery bags.
Several neighbors bring food for the hot meal every week.
They take the extra food left over from the distribution the week before and bring it back as dinner for all. Our distribution captain is a neighborhood woman. We have seen big changes for the better in her life in the 5 years that we have known her. Now she is a powerful force in the neighborhood, organizing volunteers and promoting interactions. She knows everyone.
