The café was started after Hurricane Katrina to feed those without kitchens, said the Rev. Jim Quigley, pastor of St. George’s.
Soon, it was serving up to 10,000 meals a year ”” mostly on Thursday and Friday nights ”” but as funding dried up, the church cut back to one day a week.
Quigley said St. George’s opted to make that meal breakfast, to give those in need a hearty start to their day.
“No one leaves hungry,” he said. “They can stay for seconds as well, and we treat everyone with dignity and respect.”
I worshipped at St. George’s for a year while completing a CPE residency. The undercroft parish hall will remain one of my favorite places in the Episcopal Church. Good people. Good music. Good food.
