Father McKenna Center
Hi everyone!
Today was a really great start to the week, which hopefully sets the tone for how the rest of the week will go. We were welcomed in with open arms at the Father McKenna Center bright and early. Each and every one of us did a variety of tasks within the center to prepare for the two meals they serve. Some of us were in charge of the food pantry, where locals could come in and obtain produce, canned foods and other special
food products. While others cleaned the bathrooms and showers, or helped the cook in the kitchen prepare the meals. Each task enlightened us with gratitude and fulfillment of the service we were doing. Some of us had the opportunity to engage in conversations with the men and listen to the stories of some of the workers at the center as well. As the week goes on, we hope for more fruitful conversations with the staff and men of the center and to find ways to combat homelessness in our towns. We ended the day with a short walk of downtown D.C and a lovely family meal. In preparation for our busy day tomorrow, we are getting ready to fall asleep for the night.
Love,
