Feeding the Homeless.

Tonight wasn't a typical Super Bowl Sunday night for us. 1st, we weren't really rooting for a team so the game wasn't the focal point. And 2nd, we volunteered to feed the homeless tonight. Who would have thought the 1st Sunday in February would have been Super Bowl Sunday when we signed up for it on October!


Oh well, it spiced up our night since the teams weren't driving the night. We had two other families volunteer with us and our kids helped serve. We split up duties and made pasta, salad, garlic bread, fruit and cookies for 70 people.  The organization is the Catholic Worker house in the heart of Des Moines. They serve meals for the homeless and rely on volunteers and donations to keep their program running. Hannah and her friend Chloe received Silver Cord hours and we all felt great that we were a little part in helping the homeless population in Des Moines. 


So, though we paused tonight between countries, it was a moment that took us away from our busy lives to give back....Happy Is.


Catholic Workers live a simple lifestyle in community, serve the poor, and resist war and social injustice. Most are grounded in the Gospel, prayer, and the Catholic faith. Each Catholic Worker house is independent and there is no "Catholic Worker headquarters".
