Superfeast Thanksgiving Dinner

The gang debating if street parking was allowed at 4:30am or if we were going to get towed

Thanksgiving morning we got up at 3:30am and headed into Houston to help set up for the Annual Superfeast hosted by Waste Management. This was our first year volunteering with this organization and it was a great experience. Superfeast is an outdoor dinner held on the mall in front of Houston City Hall. They serve a free thanksgiving dinner to over 20,000 people.

Downtown Houston right before sunrise

We worked the 4:45-7:30am shift (early, I know!). I was really proud of them, all the girls were all up and dressed and standing in the parking lot by 4:15am. Superfeast is a huge operation with dozens of smokers and ovens. We set up tables, carried in food and beverages and helped put together silverware. I think we'll do it again next year, although we'll probably get there earlier, by 4:45am we were already #170 for volunteers and by 8am that had over a thousand volunteers sign in. It was a great morning and a great opportunity to reflect on how truly blessed we are.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Waiting to get the lovely "health code" hats
