We had the neat opportunity to provide and serve dinner at Camp Hope (homeless shelter for men, women, and children) tonight with many of our friends. I asked one man if the baked ziti was hitting the spot tonight and he responded, “this is WAY better than dumpster diving!” We enjoyed mingling with many of the residents and found everyone to be very kind and appreciative. Camp Hope is in need of lots of donations - clothing (all ages), kitchen stuff (they are working on getting a kitchen area built - currently in need of a meat slicer), one woman said she would love a piano so she could sing (she did treat us all to an acappella number), and some furniture. We’d love to do this regularly - sure was nice to have lots of donations as we provided baked ziti, salad, bread, and water bottles for 80. I am glad my kids had this opportunity as they were especially touched by the few children that we met that live there.
