At the Cathedral Parish, we have 2 hour periods, 4 days a week, when we open the doors and answer the needs of those in our city who are desperate. During my last session, I wrote 14 vouchers for Community Harvest Food Bank.

One was the need of a single mom with 5 children. Another was a man, just released from incarceration. He had NOTHING. Someone needed rent assistance and another needed a bed, an actual bed to sleep on.

And this, I remember well: An older woman who was in need of food. She had with her a lard hard suitcase on wheels. This is what she carries on the CitiLink bus to go to Community Harvest Food Bank to get some food. Imagine if this is your mother or grandmother. All of those that I served that day were so very thankful and appreciative of the help.

Christ just knocked at our door!
