The aroma of turkey and all the traditional trimmings wafted from the kitchen at drop-in this week. Nothing says ‘come, sit and enjoy’ like a great turkey dinner! The temperature outside dipped to the lowest it has in 10 years, but inside the windows were steamed up and hearts were warm as we hosted our annual Christmas Dinner. Close to 200 plates of hot savory goodness were served by 40 volunteers to our guests. Each one served with a bonus smile. Thanks to everyone who provided the food items and the hands that served it.
Our special dinners are always a favourite for those who attend. It’s an opportunity for our guests to enjoy a holiday meal and it’s a chance for those who don’t normally volunteer with us to come out and see what it’s all about. You don’t need to be a regular volunteer to join us these days. Easter’s coming…are you in?
