Warming Up

When the temperature drops, the Wednesday Community Meal isn't just a place to get food, it's a place to get warm. 

During the Fall and Winter our guests tend to stay longer for the meal which is served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Wednesday at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in NW Portland, Oregon. Because lets face it, a hot meal in a warm dining room is much better than the bitter cold.

Today our dining room was bustling as we served 327 meals and did our best to keep our guests warm, at least until 1 p.m. We served bowls of hot soup, salads and plates of ribs, shepherd's pie, sweet and sour shrimp, pasta, burritos, turkey and pizza.
 

Our top notch dishwashers worked nonstop today. Thank you Steve, Bill, Rodston and Dave!

Volunteer Kate roasted some donated anaheim peppers so that we can use them next week to make salsa verde. We are always trying our best to utilize the food we are given, prevent waste and thinking about what we will serve next week.
