Who likes to eat? Okay, put your hand down (I seriously hope you didn't even raise it).
Think of your favorite food and then imagine that you have an opportunity to share it with the world. Well, at least the greater Flathead Valley and its surrounding nether-regions. Now, add a different variable to this culinary equation: let's say we could raise awareness of our homeless situation at the same time. Still not convinced? Then I am afraid I am at a loss for words because what kind of monster would not like to eat and work toward a solution to the problem of homelessness at the same time?!
Samaritan House is in the beginning stages of compiling a cookbook that will serve a few purposes with one fell swoop of the spatula. While sharing recipes from some of the area's local restaurants, businesses, places of worship, and individuals, we hope to also raise some funds for our organization by calling attention to the following:
Who is homeless?
Why are they homeless?
Where can they go?
How can we help?
This is quite an undertaking and we have some incredible people donating countless hours, blood, sweat, and tears (which might not be the best phrases when writing about food) to this endeavor. If you are interested in submitting a recipe or would like to help us get this project off and running by donating towards it, please call the Samaritan House office and ask for Curt, at 257-5801. There will be more information forthcoming, but for now... bon appetit!
