Years, every meal served
“I love the sense of community and the idea of serving the guests and offering them a restaurant-style dining experience.”
“Very worthy group doing much to relieve hunger for many people. The people who come to the dinners are treated as guests in a restaurant. They feel taken care of even if it is for a short while.”
