St. Francis of Assisi Dining Hall: Fall 2014
Event Description:
The Fall 2014 class chose to work with St. Francis of Assisi Church by helping to support their dining hall. Working with staff and members of the homeless community, students helped to prepare and serve a meal. Students chopped, sliced, served, mingled and helped clean. It was a rewarding experience to sit amongst and within this community to share a meal, stories, and life.

"The Dining Hall is in the lowest level of St. Francis Church. Here, 150-300 hot meals are served daily to those in need in dignity and peace. The staff consists of two co-Directors and cook. Most of the other positions are held by volunteers. Many of these volunteers are those who stay to have a meal because they are either homeless, jobless, underemployed, or at a time in their lives when they are down and out." St. Francis Website
