As we bid farewell to 2023, let’s takes immense pride in reflecting on the remarkable journey we’ve had in providing meals for Breaking Break. This year has been a testament to the strength of our brotherhood, with 24 weekends dedicated to serving 194 meals to individuals in need. Our commitment to service was exemplified by the 26 F3 men who selflessly devoted their time to ensure that Breaking Break received not just meals, but a warm and compassionate touch.

Most of us do this activity alone or with our families, albeit knowing The Pax is behind us. For those prone to entirely unnecessary and grammatically inappropriate capitalization, you all have made…
