This one was totally done by the M (her name is of course Mrs. Rogers). She whipped up some Baked Spaghetti for 10, with a big ol’ batch of buttered rolls, some Caesar Salad and enough assorted cookies to put you into a diabetic coma. She’s a keeper! We dropped off the goods and hit the town for date night. Tip: Date your wife or someone else will. If anyone is contemplating taking on this 3rd F activity, Oyster will totally hook you up with detailed instructions – which makes it super easy (as does your M jumping in and…

YHC and 2.0s cooked up pork tenderloin, mixed up some pasta salad, and whipped up some perfectly set banana pudding. YHC’s attempts to deliver good tidings, cheer, and some perfectly timed dad jokes were met with some resistance, so the food was dropped and on our way YHC and PAX went. There was no breaking, nor any bread, but you get the picture. IB volunteer hours were also completed.

YHC and his 2.0’s had the honor of preparing a dinner for 10 of Southsides finest gents.

Gumbo, Redbird (2.1) and Snare (2.2), cooked up some meatloaf, green beans, cornbread, and cookies and loaded the car headed for Daily Planet. The stubborn meatloaf took extra long to cook, but we made up time on the trip with Redbird at the wheel. A party of 10 was on the reservation sheet, but only 8 were in attendance when we arrived. No worries – all were served, fed and satisfied. We didn’t eat with the residents, but we served and chatted and made sure they were well fed. Another great time serving with my 2.0s and helping the good…
When I signed up for Breaking Bread a while ago I had big plans to get the 2.0s involved, get them some needed volunteer hours, and maybe be able to serve in person. Field trips, rescheduled parties, and uncertain staff changed all of that but it didn’t lessen the impact. YHC made a salad and a chicken, sausage, and rice dish for the current patients. I did get to go inside, set things up, and do a little helping out when a drink was spilled shortly after my arrival. The meal and brief company was well received with gratitude by…
Fireman Ed and one of his 2.0s made baked ziti and brownies for the guests at Breaking Bread. Ed had no idea how many different cheeses went into baked ziti so after a few trips to different stores, he and his 2.0 (Olivia) were ready to go. For once, Ed actually followed his 2.0’s directions to the T and did not mess anything up. Add a salad and away we went. Even though we were unable to serve the guests, it teaches both of us a good lesson in gratitude. Below is a view of my 2.0 with a staff…
On Sunday, we made a meal for the people at breaking bread. We prepared a meal of tacos with a bunch of nutritional toppings, including lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. The tacos consisted of beef, beans, and Spanish rice. We also made a batch of brownies, along with buying lemonade. Cooking took several hours, but it was great family bonding time, along with eye opening to the needs of others. -Davinci and Weapon X
The Bridge was first and way colder. Breaking Bread with the family was prepared all afternoon and way warmer. Thank you to Publix for significant prep assistance!!! Both filled YHC’s tank and provided reflection on the night of Jesus’ birth! Could I be any more blessed? I don’t think so! Loud and Proud, Flatline
To the Men and Families of F3RVA, The time has come. For about 5 years (give or take), YHC has led the PAX effort with The Southside Health Center, an AO also known as “Breaking Bread.” It’s a simple place with a big heart. Through your generosity, F3RVA has provided a delicious, homemade dinner to the guests, each of whom is recovering from a medical illness, injury, or other issue. 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…
