Wrapping up Christmas at St. Anthony’s
December 25th, 2010by Doug Huggala
| We received so many wonderful gifts on Christmas – thousands of beautiful hand knit scarves from all over the United States for us to give to our Dining Room guests today, the smiles of appreciation from our guests over the hot meal of ham, mashed potatoes, vegetables and dessert, the service of so many hard working, dedicated volunteers.
Those same volunteers have set up a challenge grant to help put more meals on the table. We have 6 days left to meet their match of $50,000 or 20,000 meals in St. Anthony Dining Room. Today, we’re a third of the way there. You may not be able to serve a guest their Holiday meal as a volunteer, but your gift is another way to put meals on the table. |

Wow! I didn’t even notice the hand knitted scarves there. I remember a lot of people being there and the meal was more than excellent! Its a special thing in my heart to hear about lovely things at St. Anthony’s…
Thank you security for all your support to us girls OR male to females as well as females to males…Although, I don’t see much of the latter there @ St. Anthony’s, but I love meeting everybody that goes there for a hot meal and you cannot starve in San Francisco! Go ALL STAFF!!! GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

Wow.. So happy to see everyone in the scarves! We’re starting a group to crochet all year ’round in order to send in an even bigger lot in November ‘11!
