The Samaritan Center

Henderson Palmer catered lunch at the Samaritan Center two days this week for our volunteers who helped families register for our Thanksgiving Basket Program. We had fried fish, chicken wings, dirty rice, jambalaya, and every ones favorite... shrimp fried rice.

Everything was super delicious. We highly recommend Henderson Palmer and Vera's Kitchen for your next event.
