This past Saturday, February 25th, the North
Carolina chapter had the honor and privilege of preparing another delicious
meal for our local heroes at Fire Station 20 in Raleigh, NC. We had a blast at
a Brother’s apartment planning and creating a burrito bar for the firemen to
enjoy. We created beef with taco
seasoning, Mexican chicken, and rice. We provided the tortillas, salsa, sour
cream, chips, cheese, and avocados as toppings for our burritos. For dessert a
Brother created an Oreo layer dessert with an Oreo butter crust, a cream cheese
layer, a chocolate pudding layer, topped with whip cream and crushed Oreos. The
firefighters were incredibly grateful for the food and invited us to stay and
eat with them. While eating the delicious food we were able to have great
conversation and even challenged one another to a game of trivia, which the
firemen won unfortunately. After eating
and talking for a while we said our goodbyes. They firemen invited us back so
that they could cook for us as a thank you for all the meals we have provided
them. We are so thankful for the many opportunities to serve these heroes who
risk their lives everyday keeping our community safe.
