Joshua Center - 11/17/08

I'm always amazed by how much the women at the Joshua Center can eat! :)

Seriously though - the homemade Macaroni and Cheese was absolutely delicious and a huge hit! The ladies came up for seconds and even thirds in some cases. Our fabulous chef, Rebecca sure does know how to make some warm and filling foods!

Our small group of volunteers was wonderful and we even had the opportunity to start a few conversations and get to know some of the guests a little better in between bites of food.

ALSO - There's great news!
We just recently learned that the Joshua Center was awarded some funding from the government to stay open 24 hours. This is a HUGE blessing! We're not sure when the 24-hour shelter will be implemented, but prior to this funding, the women had to leave the shelter and were only allowed to come back in around 7:30PM. It's so cold outside now, it'll be good for the women to not worry about how they're going to stay warm.

The next meal we're dishing up at the Joshua Center is Monday, December 15th. Let me know if you want to join. :)
