This Week
Weekly Report - We have fed 225 friends ;
Tuesday - THREE CHEERS FOR SHARON & SUE :
This evening, we served 120 Friends, all leaving with a happy full tummy.
On the menu, there was Sausage Casserole full of Vegetables with Roast Potatoes and Bread and Butter on the side.
For pudding, there were some Pastries, Biscuits or Homemade Coffee, and Walnut Tray Bake.
This afternoon, Sharon and Sue took charge of the kitchen for the very first time, and what a fantastic job they did.
They planned and prepared the meal themselves.
We don’t often single out individual volunteers because every single person who gives their time to St James Three Pillars is important to us. Whether you are cooking, serving, washing up, scraping plates, collecting food, sitting and talking with the people we support, or doing one of the countless other jobs that keep everything going, every contribution matters.
But today really was a big moment for Sharon and Sue. They genuinely had to take responsibility for the kitchen themselves and make it work. And they absolutely did.
That takes courage, determination and a fair amount of confidence, particularly when you know around 100 people are relying on you for their evening meal.
I can still remember during our first year when we served 30 people for the first time. We almost collapsed in the kitchen afterwards thinking, “Oh my word, we’ve just served 30 meals!”
We could never have imagined then that one evening we would be talking about serving 120.
Thanks to all our volunteers.
