Bob and Fr. Mike would soon join with them in the ministry. His name is Jesse. As word of the mission of the Franciscan Peacemakers spread, more people came forward to see how they could help. What started out as treats on The Corner grew into a simple meal distributed 5 nights each week.
Some groups bring sandwiches, others bring more, but all bring their love.
We pray before we break bread Prayer in thanksgiving for the food, all the people who are joined at The Corner, and all the people they pray for. Food is then distributed and shared. We learn from each other through our praying with each other. Volunteers are very creative when it comes to reaching out to the people on The Corner. Last year one volunteer contacted a company and received a donation of 15 crates of socks to be distributed to our brothers and sisters.
