On a cold day we needed to serve a warm meal.
Today we are serving Chicken à la King over rice, plantines, WARM bread, orange or banana and assorted desserts.
This meal was inspired by Toni Wille, one of our weekly dedicated volunteers. "Chicken à la King is a dish consisting of diced chicken in a cream sauce, and often with sherry, mushrooms, and vegetables, served over rice, noodles, or bread "

We have several guests who wait for an hour or more for our doors to open. These guests brave the weather for a meal. We know some of our guests only eat once a day.
Our kitchen team works hard to prepare and serve high quality lunches and dinners. Our meals are not only hot and healthy but they are created with the homeless guest in mind.
We know a special meal is good for the body and good for the soul. We work hard to create that special meal every day.
Today on the menu:
BBQ Chicken
Baked Plantains
Fruit Salad
Bread
Assorted Pastries

Its really hard to explain how awesome the volunteers of @lindaslegacy are.
Today they (more than 30 youth and adults) made their annual trip to our center with 3 uhaul trucks and alot of cars to donate items to our community.
It takes nearly 45 min to unload everything and then they sing and give out scarfs to our clients.
The true blessing of Christmas? We think so. Community coming together to celebrate Christmas. Giving to help those in need.
Merry Christmas!
