Easter Meals Under the Bridge ‘08
submitted by Liz, Meals Coordinator this year
Easter morning weather was supposed to have been nasty but turned out to be lovely. Eleven members and friends started at Community UCC at 7:30am, getting right to work preparing a traditional Easter feast. During this prep time we had a wonderful opportunity to visit with each other in addition to cooking. Then we loaded up our cars and set off for the new Meals site at 9th and Austin under I-37.
We served up ham, mashed potatoes, a greenbean/tomato mix, breads/pastry (provided by the Meals folks), pudding, bananas, coffee/bottled water and of course our famous Easter eggs (boiled and decorated by SOP friends and members) and candy. We served approximately 80 people, with many coming back for additional plates. What was left was sent to Women at the Well House.
Many thanks to the fantastic volunteer cookers, servers and egg dyers who made this wonderful event happen. Thanks to HEB and Costco who gave store credit donations and to It’s A Grind Coffeehouse (I-10 and Huebner at The Strand) who donated coffee service (thanks for hauling all that, David!). A huge thanks also to Community UCC for use of their kitchen, feeding us a delicious breakfast and sending us with pastry, fruit and candy from their Easter breakfast to include in the meal.
