We have started the cooking for the homeless meal tomorrow.
October's homeless meal is tomorrow afternoon. We are short handed, and two cooks are out for health reasons.
But we proceed anyway. The food costs to feed a hundred people have almost doubled in the last two months! Fortunately, I bought ahead, so we can still make the food.
I will be delivering the first batch, we are short a driver:
So I will make several runs with food, to deliver the food to the isolated camps.
I'll be making chicken Alfredo by request:
They love this Alfredo, so I am have to make it often! This never has left overs, but I'll make two roaster loads. I'll begin pressure cooking chicken in the morning, we will shred ten pounds for this batch! We will cook a 32 quart kettle of egg noodles for the base, and add about 6 quarts of Alfredo sauce with the chicken.
We'll be cooking 5 gallons of green bean casserole too, again by request.
A lot oaded table:
There will be chili, and beef stew; and the Ladies always bring home made desserts.
We will keep doing this as long as GOD wants us to, in spite of the food prices!
But next month, we serve turkey and dressing!
We will need about 10 turkeys, with all the fixings. I'll need to make about 15 gallons of turkey gravy to heat these sliced turkeys in! It will take about a week to get those turkeys cooked, but it's worth it to see the look on their faces. One Man cried and told me he hadn't eaten Thanksgiving dinner in 20 years! So I sent another plate with him....
This will be a full day, but it is satisfying to be allowed to be GOD's hands for a day!
Please pray for our success!
Wow, this is indeed a great piece.
Am always elated when I see people rendering help to those who truly needs it.
Your reward is in heaven and I pray may the good Lord continue to be your strength and also keep providing for you so you can continue keep putting a smile on their faces.
I really wish I can send a token or tip, in respect to how happy I am seeing this but am still growing my account.
But note that my prayers are with you always.
!ALIVE
@temmylade, sorry! You need more $ALIVE to use this command.
The minimum requirement is 1000.0 ALIVE staked.
More $ALIVE is available from Hive-Engine or Tribaldex
Okay, thanks
Your prayers are appreciated! We have been doing this for about a decade, the homeless seem to always be with us.
Some are there by choice, but most by circumstance...good people, in a bad place!
😭👎😳🤕
The Lord will heal our land.
And send help from above to each and everyone of us.
Amen, we sure need that!
He has been great, and kept us supplied. We fed 79 today.
👍😁💙🙏
Wow, that's a huge number.
Well-done and congratulations on the successful event
We're building back up, we have served 285 before the mayor started running them off. He's not a good man!
Next month, we will be feeding them turkey with all the fixings. That cooking will take about a week.
😳🤕🙏👍💗📖💙
He is obviously not a good man to have done such.
285 is a huge number but hope you are getting funds as support from individuals.
Turkey, wow 😮 am sure they will be very elated.
But the cooking taking a whole week, that means you will have to start early so as to meet up with the day you will be taking it to them.
You are really doing a great work, well-done 👍
We cook and slice the turkeys, to speed up the serving. We heat the slices in turkey gravy on location so they are hot. That let's us make the fixings the day before, so the meal is right. We plan 10 turkeys this year....
Be blesssed!
👍🙏💗📖🤠
Wow, that's alot
Amen 🙏
Thank you so much.
We want to be sure that No one leaves hungry! Lots of cooking, but the food has to be quality; everyone else just cooks whatever they can find.
👍💙🤠🙏
Yea, that's so thoughtful of you and it's a good thing you have their best interest at heart.
Have a lovely day ahead
One of our regular homeless was guiding a newbie through the line. He told the newbie to try everything because it was like eating at a restaurant, and he can come back through for what he likes! That was encouraging....
👍🤠🙏😁
Really encouraging but the most important part of it is that they feel really happy and homely
And that they get one Good hot meal a month! It's good to see them full too.
🤠💗👍🙏💙😳🤕
Yea, it is and kudos to you.
May God reward you greatly
He does all the time, we were able to find turkeys for $0.40 a pound for next month's meal. That will help us a lot to get enough to feed the homeless! Since we are paying most of the cost out of pocket, this will help immensely.
An answer to prayer for sure!
👍🤠🥦🌿💗🙏
Smiles, that's a good one.
God will keep enriching your pockets.
Well-done 👍
We are blessed, so we can bless others in turn! This is the biggest push we make each year.
👍🤠💗📖🙏
Sure, you are right.
That's so nice of you
It just means that for one afternoon, we become God's hands! That is humbling....
🤠👍💗📖🙏💙🤕😳
Very humbling and elated because the joy and fulfillment from doing such is overwhelming.
It is satisfying because they are good people that need help!
👍🤠💗🙏📖😆💙
Sure
Man, that's tough to be short-staffed... also the inflation is really kicking our butts right now. Hopefully, crypto can help stave off its effects.
We made it, but I had to serve up dinners, then deliver too. We fed 79 today, but we could have fed more if we'd been able to hit all the camps. Just not enough drivers....
I'm worried about food availability in Kenya, at the Christian school I support! Of course inflation is damaging there as well, but they are feeding (and educating) about 50 orphans; so I need to keep them stocked! This one is my first big personal ministry.
👍😁💙🙏📖🤕
Keep on doing what you're doing, sir. With every move you make, you're making significant changes in people's lives.
Thanks, pray for strength and wisdom for me, I really need it!
The school is a matter of life and death, and it must continue!!!!
👍😳💙🤕😞🙏📖
