After spending most of my summer at the Warming House, I have formed unforgettable relationships and memories with guests. From watching Sully, (another member of the Farm to Table program), light up the entire room, Irish dancing with Damon (a guest), to catching up with Fran, (also a guest), during deliveries, the Warming House is never dull.

As the summer passed and my experience grew, I realized the focus wasn’t on the meal itself rather the people it was serving.

Working in the Warming House as a part of the Farm to Table program connected me to a new community, one I am not sure I would have had the opportunity to be connected with. My eyes were opened to the struggle that was just under my nose. It was a truly humbling experience that has changed the way I view others entirely.

The Warming House relies on the generosity of donors to provide not only this essential service to the public, but also a unique expereince for students. Please consider making a donation to help us continue to provide meals to the hungry and a positive community for all.
