Our Friend Anthony

A nytime you need a smile or an encouraging word he is there for you. N ew faces he sees everyday and never turns not even one away. T imes are tough for him as well as us, and not many give him the credit he deserves. H e spends his day in the kitchen preparing meals for the hungry, and cleaning the dishes so he can do it all again. O ften he is too tired to feed himself, but he still manages to keep three wonderful meals on the table to make sure we aren't hungry. N oone sees all that he does for everyone, and it's all without complaint. All people see is that there is food for them to eat. Some are rude, crude, mean, and hateful, but their belly still gets full. Y ou are one in a million, and I for one am very thankful to have met you. Thank you for everything Anthony!
