  • Breaking Bread – Lasagna Night

    Up the steps to the back door, YHC was greeted by a full house. Twelve men and women are staying at the Daily Planet Respite program this weekend. When the group is this large, it’s time for Italian: a sheet pan of lasagna, a couple of loaves of garlic bread, a big salad, watermelon, and some chocolate chip cookies. Meeting some of the friendliest people around is just what YHC needed.

    Lasagna
    Garlic Bread
    Salad
    Watermelon
    Chocolate Chips Cookies

    If you would like to sign up for Breaking Bread, you can find it on the Q sheet. Choose the last weekend of the month, either Saturday or Sunday. YHC will send you all the details a few days before your scheduled day, including how many people will be there, where to go, and what time to arrive.

    Get the family involved! My 2.0 loves choosing the menu, helps make the dinner and is always all in on making the desserts. Whether you’re a great cook or not, it’s all good. You can prepare your meal from scratch or order food, such as chicken and sides from Publix. The most important thing is that we are providing a hot meal to some folks who don’t always get one. Let’s Go!!!!
