Our host, Marla's thoughts on this Friday's Dinner Event

How often do we hear the morning headlines about another child that has fallen into the hands of abuse by someone they love and trust? I know personally when I hear these reports I may shed a tear or nod my head in disbelief, but unfortunately life takes over and you go about your busy day. This Friday we want to make up for those moments, and give these children a voice. This monthThe Dinner Project will be honoring Jonathan’s Place of Dallas. For 15 years Jonathan's place has been providing a 24 hour emergency shelter for abused, abandoned and neglected children, serving newborn to 17 years of age. They also provide a Foster and Adoptive Family Program, as well as a Residential Therapeutic care for young girls that require a higher level of attention.

To help provide the basic necessities for the children, Jonathan's Place accepts in-kind donations. They constantly have a need for personal hygiene and paper products such as paper towels, toilet paper, paper plates, paper cups, etc. So this Friday we are asking our guest to bring personal hygiene and/or paper products to the dinner. Since Jonathan’s Place provides amazing care and comfort to children, we thought comfort food, would be an appropriate choice for the evening.

Bring your best dish and in-kind donation and we will see you at The Dinner Project!
