St. Ignatius Loyola Shares “God’s Bounty” with a Free Meal [or 2] for the Hungry Every Month

Photo from the St. Ignatius Loyola Parish webspace.
In an effort to fill the stomachs of hungry members in their community, St. Ignatius Loyola Parish is continuing their program “Sharing God’s Bounty,” which provides a hot, free, delicious dinner to those who come for it on the fourth and fifth Wednesdays at 6 PM of every month.

The next meal date will be New Year’s Eve at 6:00 PM. A flyer the Jesuit parish has recently circulated enunciates a commitment to continue the program well into the new year.

Below, the statement at the parish webspace which describes the dinners, as well as other elements of their commitment to help the needy:
Sharing God's Bounty
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me; Amen, I say to you whatever you did for one of these least brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. (Matthew 25:35, 40)

Hot dinners are provided for anyone who is hungry on the fourth and fifth Wednesday for every month at 6:00 pm. Over the past year, more than 5,000 meals have been served. We also have clothing, books, and bags filled with nutritious and fresh food staples for our guests in need. The “Ask a Nurse” table is very successful. And, after our dinner, guests and volunteers alike enjoy BINGO games.

More obstacles revealed in effort to make Mather cottages habitable

Mold, asbestos and lead paint, oh my! The 35 cottages out at Mather Community Campus seem closer to being condemned today than ever again being inhabited. But the expectation that some of the cottages can and will be restored to house homeless families before spring abides. A report in the Sacramento Bee tells us ... Some [of the cottages] have extensive mold, a county analysis showed. It's not clear how the county planned to deal with lead paint and asbestos, [Rancho Cordova] Councilwoman Linda Budge said. Still, hope of getting some of the cottages in shape such that homeless families can move in is in play, though not before New Year's day.  Word of where the money might come from to make needed restorations has not been forthcoming, though it is known that the Winter Shelter Task Force hopes to hold a fundraiser to boost the pool of funds to meet the need to keep homeless people warm and safe. At the end of October, placing families, totalling 105 individuals, was

Ron Russell and Summerhills Realty

Readers of this blog should be aware that I am receiving some information that Summerhills Realty and someone named Ron E. Russell is using this blog as a reference in an effort to scam homeless people.  Be aware that Mr. Russell and his business is cited as a possible perpetrator of fraud by a website called Ripoff Report .  See this webpage .  Also, there is this claim of fraud against Ron Russell Properties at the website BizClaims - Latest scams, frauds and complaints . Please be aware that the information of being 'ripped off'' may be coming from only one source is coming from multiple sources, with perhaps as many as twelve persons/couples now pursuing legal action after paying thousands of dollars for services and receiving none of the services that were promised/contracted.

In an act of Collective Punishment, Loaves & Fishes closes its park in the morning on New Year’s Day

Calvin [a "green hat" in Unfriendly Park] makes the argument for continued incompetent management. Hobbes represents me — only, in real life, I don't have that good a coat . In an act of Collective Punishment, Loaves & Fishes closes its park in the morning on New Year’s Day In one respect — and only one — that I can think of, Loaves & Fishes is NOT hypocritical: The management hates the way America is run and wants to turn it into a backward communist country . Consistent with that, Loaves & Fishes’ management runs its facility like a backward communist country. The People’s Republic of Loaves & Fishes. A seemingly minor thing happened on New Year’s Day. A couple of people smoked a joint in Loaves & Fishes’ Friendship Park and one of the park directors, or both of them, determined, at about 10am, that, in retribution, they would punish all the homeless there by closing the park for the day. This is something the managers of the park do all the
