Twice a month we provide free, family-friendly dinners, which are served in a relaxed atmosphere. There are other organizations in the Derry, New Hampshire area that also offer free and delicious meals to the public. Please see the calendar on the right-hand side of this blog for a list of upcoming meals. And don't forget the offerings of the Sonshine Soup Kitchen (described on the left-hand side of this blog) and The Derry Salvation Army!

"May you never forget those sweet hours..."


Today's dinner (August 19, 2012) was great.  We had at least 70 guests, and great food:  salmon salad, tuna salad, egg salad, garden salad, potatoe salad, a yummy pasta and veggie dish, cheeses, and ice cream and cookies, including some home-made chocolate chip cookies.  Our emcees handed out the lyrics to "Red River Valley" ("Come and sit by my side if you love me; Do not hasten to bid me adieu; But remember the Red River Valley; And the Cowboy who loved you so true..."),  and everyone sang!  Truly it was a lovely evening.  I hope you will join us next time.  Check out the updated calendar.









Pictures from the evening:  "Happy folks on line for dinner"; "Waiting for dessert the easy way and hiding from the camera lady"; "Our emcees singing 'Red River Valley'"; "Fresh salad"; "Our intrepid dishwashers" (we are so grateful for them!).
