Hello to everyone. Wonderful day in Butler Park nice warm day, some new people and a good meal for everyone. The menu was wieners and beans, 158 servings, 328 Hard Boiled Eggs, 492 PBJ Sandwiches also 320 bottles of water.
The pictures are a bit different, some during set up and a couple after with our Volunteer John placing a blanket on a lady as she slept, she was asking for a blanket but we did not have any and while she was sleeping a gentleman came in with 3 large bags of blankets for us to give out. Pleasant surprise for everyone. We were also Blessed by a Lady who brought in a large bag of tooth paste, tooth brushes, shampoo and other Hygiene produce that we are always in need of.
Yes we had less people that usual but this happens every year when K days is over they go to help remove all the rides. For others it was just a bit too hot out. Next week we will have a full house and probably serve a goulash with lots of vegetables so the kitchen will be busy on Friday with extra work.
As mentioned last week Andy’s IGA is officially closing this Wednesday. Andy’s has been donating the bread and treats for almost 3 years. I just wanted to say Thank You, they have Helped hundreds of people while in business. We are also Blessed with 2 New Volunteers to Help in the Park.
To everyone who contributes, Thank You, Lives are changing, you bring Joy and Hope to our most vulnerable. Also to Hosanna Lutheran Church, Thank You for allowing us to use the kitchen and for all your help. without Hosanna Lutheran Church we probably would not exist.
We have several requests for bedding and also tarps for shelter.
