The homeless meal went well today, in spite of the continual rain and the unrelenting attacks from the Mayor!
We served 110 homeless people a hot meal today. They were happy despite the constant rain,  and the hot food was enjoyed!

We setup an extra canopy, so the homeless could get in out of the rain.

We moved our roasters together too, and gained more dry space for them to use. They liked the table space too....

There was enough weather today that we had to tie the canopies to our vehicles,  so they stayed put.

The generators ran well in the rain,  but we should cover them if this begins to happen more often.

We have a 9000 watt generator on the tongue of the trailer,  so we don't have to move it every time.

The Chicken Alfredo began life, as penne pasta. Here is 32 quarts of pasta in my favorite pasta pot!

Here are the spare drink containers, we didn't need because of the rain.

This trailer has been a real help, allowing us to get all the equipment on site safely. It is a real blessing!

I have been wanting to show a little behind the scenes to give you an idea of what is required. Here is the same trailer being reloaded after serving.

Generators load by rolling up the ramp.

All the generators loaded, and we are loading tables through the front door.

The chicken stew, chicken alfredo, chili, macaroni and cheese, scalloped potatoes, spaghetti, macaroni salad, green bean casserole, and hot coffee; filled everyone up!

We packaged the leftovers to go to the Denver House, so they will be put to good use.

It was a good day, except for the incessant rain. It is good to be dry and warm again, LOL! One more successful hot meal, and we were allowed to be GOD's hands once more; I am humbled and happy...and tired.
