Quick update. We've been open two nights now. Three guests the first night. Five the second. All men. Three are regulars from last year and two new fellows. All are semi-regular guests at the St Alban Community meal, so St Alban is feeling a lot like home.
Food is going extremely well, thanks to Grace and all the volunteers: Shepherd's pie, turkey pot pie, roasted potatoes, delicious soup made from fresh tomatoes; pineapple upside down cake; pancakes, eggs, toast. And Joanne and Mackenzie, yesterday's mother-daughter breakfast team, returned in the evening to drop off a fresh-baked apple crisp.
Thanks to our clothing committee, we've handed out jackets, gloves, new socks and underwear.
So, some warmer, fuller gentleman are out and about in Richmond today, thanks to such a great bunch of volunteers and staff.
