The Thanksgiving homeless meal was perfect today, weather was good, and we fed for 90 minutes!
The homeless meal went well today, and we fed 381 homeless people a hot meal. The turkey was heated in turkey gravy on propane, then moved to the serving roaster.
We served turkey in gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, macaroni and cheese, scalloped potatoes, cole slaw, fruit salad, and three different drinks.
We had a lot of help on the line.
We even had a church elder on the drinks, everyone pitched in:
We ran 26000 watts of generators to keep these roasters all hot:
This was the largest feed yet, and the leftovers will go to the Denver House to feed them another meal or two!
It is always a special blessing to be GOD's hands for one day! We harvested a massive number of smiles, and made a lot of people very happy!
Everyone was full, and we even fed several pooches today. The sky was clear and the temperature was 67 degrees. It could not have been more perfect!
Sir smithlabs! Great job y'all did. Is that the same tent set up you guys have always had? 381 is alot of people. Where do they eat at?
They really showed up, it was good to see!
Same equipment, we used it all hard, and got them all fed....
We fed again on Thanksgiving day, at the Denver house. Numbers were good!

:)>How do you know someone isn't just stopping by for a big, free meal who isn't homeless?
After seven years, we know them. BUT we feed anyone who shows up, regardless.
I am sure there are some that take advantage. We don't worry about it, and let GOD sort that one out....
:)>What if they show up to work but need a meal for fuel first?
We feed them, we have help that is also homeless. They need to eat! I am preparing a post on the dinner we just did at the Denver house.
:)>ok, I'll try to contain my excitement.
Wouldn't want you to get excited, Momma might have to slap you down....
:)>That is awesome. Thank you for helping do this. It makes me so sad when people seem to forget that homeless people are... people.
They are interesting people in a bind. Some are there by choice, and will remain there, BUT they still need to Eat!
But as you say they are People and should be treated as such!

I am proud of my crew! They are doing such a good job serving the food, it makes it easier to do the work.
With the Mayor attacking the homeless; he has run off some, but they like our food more.
:)>Haha the Mayor can't run them off permanently as the food you all serve is to good :-)
