Pots, Pans and a Ladel that GIVE
----
I photographed the 2nd Annual Cookout for current and past guests of the Red Cross House, a temporary recovery center for people in the Greater Philadelphia area who have been displaced from their homes by disaster (usually fire).
----
Families receive their own room with private bathroom, three meals a day, a case worker to help them plan their recovery, mental health and spiritual counseling, free access to computers and the internet, clothing, and much more. All services are free. The Philadelphia Red Cross House is the only such facility in the nation.
----
It was quite an experience to meet dozens of families that have benefited (or are current residents of) from the unique services offered at this facility.
----
These pans were photographed in the facility's kitchen where a huge amount of donated food was being prepared. It was all absolutely scrumptious!
