First Mother's Kitchen of 2013

The first Saturday of every month, I wake up early, put on yoga pants, a T-shirt and sneakers. Pack a bag full of aprons, kitchen towels, bandanas, take out containers, bottles of water and snacks. I go to the upper west side to work in Mother's Kitchen. We work really hard chopping, washing, prepping, cooking and serving from 9am to 6pm and I go home to shower & crash. Today's photo shows the service line. Volunteers and beneficiaries together. It feels great to help the community.
