This Sunday we will be providing free meals in memory of Waclaw Kmak, better known as Stasiu. We were blessed to know Stasiu for many years, along with his famously permanent smile and sweetly gentle soul. It has been a little over 4 years since he passed, yet we still think of him fondly all the time. We miss you, Stasiu, and hope you are at peace.

This week's meal will be pulled pork sandwiches, prepared by Mack's Catering Service & Restaurant. As always, we will be out on Davis Street in Webster (by the train) from noon to 2 PM or until we run out of food.

We ask that you all consider "paying it forward" in memory of Stasiu and share a random act of kindness with a stranger, friend, or loved one. We know the world could certainly use more kindness right now 🤍
