Community Partnership for the Homeless Thankgiving Lunch

18 Serve Thanksgiving Lunch

Serving Thanksgiving lunch at Community Partnership for the Homeless has become a Club tradition.  For the past ten years our Foundation has donated the money for CHP to purchase the food to feed the residents of the HAC a terrific lunch and then we go there for a couple of hours to dish it up and serve it to the residents at the CHP North Miami Avenue facility.  It's just a couple of hours but it means the world to the the hundred or so families that are living there. 

There have been some changes in the past year ... Gloria, the longtime "Boss" has retired and left Eva, her personal trainee, in charge.  Eva doesn't rule by bossing anyone around.  She prefers the sweet and polite way of encouraging people to work hard.  It we did work hard.  By 1:00 we had served more than 300 meals.  GOOD MEALS.  Turkey and ALL the trimmings.
It sure makes you thankful for all the blessings you've received throughout the year.
