Celebrity Night!

It was quite an honor to get to be a “celebrity” for a night!

I met with Scott shortly before 5 so we could go over the evening and how things would be run at Jenni’s Noodle House. Amy and James arrived shortly after as well as Allison, Kendall, and Kelly. We had our first team an a pre-shift before the first guests arrived. Most of the regulars skipped counter service and gave us the opportunity to wait on them while educating them about what we do and what our mission is. Though some skipped the tables and both Jenni and Scott filled them in on  what Celebrity Night was and who we were.  (Allison you’re a Monster! :p)  By 7:30 the restaurant was quite full and we had our volunteer shift change and April, Mayra, Angela, Monica, David, and Byron joined us in continuing and finishing up the night. Out of 11 volunteers , 8 were fresh and new faces that hadn’t joined us before. I found that to be super cool because  that means we’re still reaching new volunteers that are interested in being part of helping a growing problem in our community, homelessness. The night died down around 9:30ish and we had the opportunity to go over the evening. We saw a lot of old friends, met quite a few new friends, and in the process raised $884 to help us continue our mission.

I want to extend a special thank-you to Jenni, Scott, Logan, all of the volunteers, the wonderful donors, and those awesome ladies at The Black Sheep Agency. We truly appreciate all of the support that you give us no matter how quiet or loud, little or big. Every kind helps and most of all it means so much to me that you believe in us.
