Feeding Hungry People

1 06 2007

Some of us at Renaissance go from time to time to a local shelter to serve some food to people who need a meal. Different people and groups prepare food for each night of the week. I always wonder what other people serve? Is it good food or is it just the thing that’s easiest to make? It seems like it would be very easy to look at people in need and just say, “well they should take what they can get.” Regardless of what other people do, the rule we’ve set up is this: If it’s good enough for us, it’s good enough for them. If it’s not good enough for us, then it’s not good enough for them. We test this in a very practical way, we eat what we serve. We eat the same meal they are eating. People in need are not second class, it bothers me when they are treated this way. So, in light of this do you guys know of any meals that are tasty, healthy and can be made easily for at least 35 people?
