On the 4th Thursday of each month, about 25 volunteers from St. Jude Parish, make dinner for about 60 homeless men and women at Bristol Lodge in Waltham. http://www.mhsainc.org/soup.htm
The dinner is the same every month and consists of 4 items----meat loaf, au gratin potatoes, any vegetable and any dessert--fruit, squares or cookies. We are divided into 4 groups and rotate each month to a different food group and we are asked to make enough for 15 people no matter what we are to bring. Some people drop off their donation at the home of the lady in charge and others drop off theirs at the Immanual United Methodist Church where dinner is served. Still others have us pick up theirs and take on to the church. Some of the "street people" come out to help us unload the car which is about 15 boxes of food. There is a coordinator from Bristol Lodge who oversees the serving of the food by a few of our group and their children . It is heartwarming to see the young people helping out. The people at St. Jude's of whom I am happy to be one, have been participating in this work of mercy, "feeding the hungry" for over 32 years . May it continue for 32 more!
