Patiently Waiting

Even after opening the doors, the line to get into the meal stayed long throughout our two hour service, running all the way out to the sidewalk.

Wow! What a busy day at the Wednesday Community Meal.

We served 446 meals and there was a continuous long line of guests patiently waiting in wet and blustery weather to get inside.

The line to get in ran from the porch of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, through the courtyard and out to the sidewalk for most of our two hour service.

Once inside, guests were treated to crispy oven-baked chicken, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and just baked cornbread. There was also hot soup, salad and homemade apple crisp.

Today's meal.

The people who come to our meal each week are wonderful so I want the food to be worth the wait. I hope they thought so today — Serving them is an honor and something I look forward to each week.
