August Miriam's Kitchen

This morning, Thursday August 11th, 3 C&W team members visited Miriam's for our 2nd Thursday volunteer date.  The participants this month were Miguel Gonzalez, Ana Lopez, and Christin Morgan.

Just like every other time the C&W family has visited Miriam's we had tons of fun!  We were able to make eggs, pancakes, biscuits...the works!  And then we got to serve the line again. 

Below is a testimonial from Miguel of his time spent at Miriam's:

“Since this is my third visit to Miriam’s Kitchen, I already know what to expect during and what needs to be done. Regardless, from the night before ( the need to set up the alarm clock for a 4:30 AM call) to the moment we leave Miriam’s parking lot after we complete our tasks is pure joy. Seeing volunteers form different walks of life that never meet each other and never worked in an industrial kitchen before and being able to prepare a full breakfast for 200 people in just under one hour is admirable. Then you serve the meals and at this moment is when you really appreciate how blessed you are and how much need for help some people have. I feel that every time I visit Miriam’s Kitchen I recharge my energy and reset my priorities. A very humble experience every time!”

Wonderfully written!

And here are a few pictures from our morning in the kitchen...




Until next time...  :)
