Fresh Produce

Besides feeding the hungry, I see the Wednesday Community Meal at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral as an opportunity to treat our guests to healthy and delicious foods like fresh fruit and vegetables.

Our bodies crave and need fresh produce but it's very hard to find for free when you rely on food donations.

Today we were blessed to be able to serve 320 meals accompanied by beautiful salads, bowls of soup and cake for dessert.

Thanks to the generosity of Good Sam Hospital, Trader Joe's, Phil's Meat Market, Pizza Schmizza and Baker & Spice, we had plenty of food, just not a lot of a single item. The guests were appreciative and understanding about us having to change the menu a few times.

Between servings of Meatloaf and Chili, there was Chicken Parmesan, Chicken with Mushroom Sauce, Enchiladas, Sweet and Sour Shrimp, Indian Curry, Roasted Pork, Pizza and Ribs.

I'm definitely looking forward to the Summer gardening season and hopefully being able to serve our guests more fresh produce.
