Soup Kitchen work

Today, we were up and out the door by 6:50 to go to The Glide soup kitchen and help them serve breakfast to close approximately 750 people. Sorry, no pictures for this one. We are not allowed to take pictures of anyone outside of YWAM without getting their permission first and many times it is very cumbersome to do that. Talked with the guy that runs the kitchen, they run on a $1MM capital budget all from large donors.

When we got there, they divided us up into many different areas. Food prep, tray prep, greeting, handing out the trays, cleaning tables, refilling coffee/milk, serving to families and the disabled. There was a constant flow of people for a good 2 hours and it was very tiring. Editorial….This was one of my favorite things I have done so far, really enjoyed interacting with the people.
