Dear Editor:
Tonight as on many Tuesday nights I headed to North Lonsdale United Church for a lovely dinner for $5, more or less – it’s whatever you can afford. I’m telling you it is amazing, the wonderful dinners that are served.
I have enjoyed so many exquisite meals there, put on by Liz and Betty, and the volunteers of SharingAbundance.ca. Tonight there was buttered chicken with vegetables and a mildly spicy sauce over a bed of rice, along with the most decadent of decadent desserts.
Many people come here from all walks of life, and they agree that the wonderful care and creativity that goes into each meal and dessert is amazing.
I know beyond the shadow of any doubt that there is a definite meal plan so all meals include the essential food groups for good health. There is even tea, coffee, lemon water or juice to go along with it. RSVP is required and there is a seating at 5:30 p.m. with the latest at 6:15 p.m. I am so pleased that the community donates to this well-appreciated and worthy cause.
These cooks are fantastic and even gather new recipes from their world travels. They deserve more than our occasional applaud. A special thank- you to them for all of their special efforts, hard work and ingenuity.
A special appreciation and thank-you also to the lovely volunteers who start at 4:30 p.m. every Tuesday night not only to serve with a smile and good attitude, but to help with cleanup and dishes afterwards. And last but not least, a very special thank-you to the wonderful members of our community for their donations and support to keep Sharing Abundance giving so willingly.
