418 meals served on Saturday, September 7, 2013 at St. Joseph's Soup Kitchen in Greenwich Village

The volunteers known as The A-Team, Joe and Rudy, hold today's meal tray served to guests.

The main entree was prepared by Teresa with meal prep volunteers. Nutritious, hearty and perfectly spiced Minestrone soup was served along with salad, fruit cup, coffee and lemonade. Vegetarian option was available to guests upon request.  We wouldn't expect anything less than this from Teresa, who runs at least two marathons a year! 

Pictured: Joe and Rudy. We <3 these two. This volunteer partnership is filled with joking, laughs, hard work, excitement, comaraderie—a bromance.  

We appreciate when strong bonds of friendship spring from volunteer service. Joe & Rudy volunteer almost weekly. As "The A-Team," they serve as afternoon coordinators "honchos" every 1st Saturday of the month.  A-Team highlights:

1. Meet the A-Team

2. A-Team Vadering

I was in some kinda depressed mood so I went to a McDonald's and got 30 mcchickens and 30 hamburgers and it took them nearly 15-20min to complete the order. I ate 5-6 of them all before we even left the restaurant. Also I observed the worker there dispense tartar sauce from the fountain drink fountain. Also me and someone else had become little. We were on a class trip but we quickly left the main group and went back into what was supposed to be an indoor amusement park. Though the inside was like the bond life sciences center at mu. I got a Nashville water and light calendar and I gave it to my mom who was sitting nearby but she didnt like it that much Ummm I'm not sure about this but there were a lot of flashing images of people tied and gagged and there was one where multiple shinji ikaris were hooked up to a device that would eventually impale you. It somehow pertained to the current situation. Like we had to do something equally terrible/arousing to our boy. Then there was Sam Winchester in a minivan turning back time and shooting a bow and arrow in order to stop the evil of this female demon. Though after several cycles of time turning back, she caught on and thoroughly stopped Sam. And then I was taught how to make a larger quantity of rice? It involved using 2 extra bowls in the rice cooker. Yeah

Morning meatball mischief! 

What is it about our meal prep volunteers that makes them go a little batty? Most are foodies to begin with. Maybe it has to do with chopping a lot of onions? 

Whatever it is, this volunteer tapped into his playful & silly side while squooshing 11 trays of meatballs.
