Welcome to our Saturday edition of Service Sunday.
A few months ago I had heard about a local non-profit organization that delivers meals to the chronically ill or homebound, Open Hand. They participate with meals on wheels, provide nutritious meals to the elderly, etc. I thought it sounded like a great place for doing our monthly service project.
We left the house at 8:45am (much to everyone's displeasure-sleeping in didn't happen) and made it to Open Hand. We had a brief orientation as it's quite a complicated process.
We were assigned to deliver 9 meals to 7 locations in a common vicinity.
I also wanted to give a little something from us so I made these little flags last night.
Open Hand LOVES volunteers! Anyone who is interested can go help prep, cook and portion out meals or they can also do deliveries.

Filling out paperwork and "resting."
You are taken through the kitchen (thus the hair net) to pick up your bag of meals then off we went.
Our general area was East Point and all the deliveries were within minutes of each other.
Our first stop!
Getting the proper meal to the right person was a little tricky

After all the meals were delivered, we went back to drop off the freezer bag.
After our service project, we tried out a new place, Antico Pizza. It was DeLisH! It's kind of a strange set up...you order your pizza (only pizza or calzones are served...no salad!) then you find space at large tables in the kitchen and you see them making all the food. They throw the pizza dough, pull fresh basil off the plant and see them chopping all the fresh veggies and listen to Italian opera. It was pretty cool but busy and hard to find a piece of table to sit at.
No lunch is complete without a treat so we drove about 3 minutes to Sublime Donuts where we each chose one donut...Orange cream, chocolate on chocolate and two s'more donuts.
They were so good we had to buy 6 more.
The grand total of said 10 donuts: $18
We shared this last donut before heading home..
Maple Bacon Cheddar. That's right.
We had a great Saturday morning serving others and eating some yummy food.
