A Hundred Reasons To Come Back

Volunteers who came to stock shelves and found a sense of purpose they hadn’t been looking for. People who showed up once and built friendships that have lasted for years. Some who once sat where the guests sit now — and come back because they know exactly what it means to be welcomed.
