Feeding the hungry
On the 4th Thursday of each month a few of us at my church gather together to prepare and serve a noon meal to anyone in our downtown neighborhood who wants to come in and eat. We also distribute some clothes and play BINGO. I am a pretty good BINGO caller if I do say so myself, On an average 4th Thursday we will serve 60 to 80 people. But one month out of the year, instead of serving a nutritious casserole, salad and cookies, we serve Kentucky Fried Chicken with all the fixin's. Today was KFC day and we had over 100 people there. We ordered 400 pieces of chicken plus mashed potatoes, gravy, biscuits, cole slaw and green beans. People are always welcome to have seconds and take some carry-out. By the time everyone was served and served and served all that was left for the volunteers for lunch was mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits. I really can't blame anyone else for this since I was the one serving the chicken. Perhaps I shouldn't have been quite so generous??? Ah well, it's only once a year.
