We caught Ami picking up trash around the building after running breakfast and lunch service today. Thank you for making Blanchet House such a welcoming and dignified space to eat.

Liz holds up a very smelly shirt that was donated to us. :( Our mission is to restore dignity to people so we never offer dirty or torn clothing to our guests. Once a week we take unwearable clothing to be recycled at Pioneer Wiping Cloths in St. John’s. It’s a big job sorting,…

The hot water broke to the dishwasher but that didn’t stop us from serving 500 slices of pizza on paper plates tonight for dinner. We try to never close because where else will people go to eat? Thank you to our volunteers and staff for being so flexible.

We shared four boxes of ripe tomatoes with our friends at St. Johns Food Share. When we get a large quantity of food donated and it needs to be used immediately we send out an email to our network of food pantries and aid groups. Our staff sorts the items and repackages them…

The plate of food tells people what we think about them, and what we think is that they’re worthy of our time. Worthy of comfort. Worthy of hope. Worthy of a good life. Worthy of love.
