Last night, our small groups from church prepared a meal for the folks staying at Hope Lodge.  Hope Lodge is an American Cancer Society facility where people undergoing cancer treatment can stay for free.  The one in Grand Rapids was sponsored by Peter Wege.

The facility will accommodate about 40 guests and has four kitchen facilities for them to use.  The guests are free to bring in their own food and prepare their own meals.  However, three times a week, Hope Lodge tries to have family style meals for supper.  And to do so, they ask for volunteers to come in an prepare a meal for the guests.  So, last night, our small groups prepared a meal for about a dozen patients and their family members.

It was truly a rewarding experience.  This is a “must do again” event.
