Terrific Lottie Kendall this is very similar to the volunteering my parents did here and know that your community appreciates every minute of your time.

I appreciate having the opportunity, Sally K. & David L. Hanson . Thanks for encouraging us to write about it.
Lottie I know that San Francisco has a very large homeless population, but a line of people for more than 2 hours is a lot of meals. It gives us a different perspective on life when we serve others as you are doing.

Good evening Lottie - there are many in need in San Francisco. You have certainly made a difference.

Such a wonderful thing to do! I find that volunteering is so much more rewarding than giving money!

That an impressive organization to provide that many meals, and the volunteers it takes to keep it running. Thank you for making a difference.

I wonder if they are going to branch out down here in L.A. because we have an even bigger problem - largest in the country and getting worse. That's something I would get invovled in also. Good for you, Lottie.

George Souto - I could scarcely believe that the line never paused for two entire hours. Such need.
Grant Schneider - the homeless crisis is everywhere, especially in mild-climate areas like ours. Yesterday we drove my visiting brother to the train station in Emeryville, a town at the east end of the Bay Bridge, nestled between Berkeley and Oakland. I was appalled at the shantytown we drove through.
Hi Brian England - I had been wanting to sign up to serve at Glide, and am happy I finally have done so.

Yes, Pat Starnes-Front Gate Realty - the logistics of running a food kitchen so large astounds me. Imagine trying to make sure they have 85 volunteers each and every day, not to mention the food to prepare 2,000-some meals.
Hello Jane Peters - Glide is an amazing organization to be able to take care of so many people. It didn't start out so large, of course, but has grown over 50 years. I know Los Angeles also has a huge homeless and hungry population.
Lottie Kendall - There are some people you don't need to meet or that you never met (like Mother Teresa) to know that is a good person.
Lottie, I never met you. We talked by phone. We read and comment on each other's blog posts. I feel 100% certain you ARE good person!

What a lovely thing to say, Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP! I feel the same way about you, and hope that someday we might actually meet in person. Could happen, you know!
Lottie- I applaud and admire what you are doing. It's hard to imagine a line as long as the one you had in San Francisco and sadly know that this is happening throughout our country. Thank you for doing what you do.

Kathy Streib - the 2-hour line was humbling and overwhelming; the only reason it stopped, I believe, is that Glide had to shut the door to prepare for the noon-time meal. The need is real; the need is huge; my part is small.
Lottie, every little bit helps. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Janna Scharf - this program is needed very much; I'm happy to do my small part.
Hi Lottie:
What an impressive program for such a real need! And how rewarding it must be to help out in this way. Thank you for your service!

Hi Jeff Dowler, CRS - Glide's meal program has been operating for 50 years! Wouldn't it be wonderful if the day came when the need was less instead of greater?
Good evening
Thank you for sharing your information with us Lottie Kendall
Have a great night.
