July 16, Aug 20, Sept 17
Like clockwork, everyone arrived without fanfare and began making preparations for the evening’s meal service as they have done almost every third Sunday of almost every month for the last sixteen years. Everyone knew what to do, and sets about their tasks with calm proficiency. After the meal of 280 to 300 dinners was served, and all the equipment was packed up into the truck, the Nippon Kan volunteer staff waved goodbye, and disappeared back into the night.
This homeless meal service project at the Denver Rescue Mission is one of Nippon Kan’s greatest traditions. Thank you all for all of your help these many years!
