Jack and I attended an event last night
which was held on the grounds of
Hampton Green Farms
This farm is located in
Fruitport Michigan
and there is another in
and there is another in
Wellington, Florida
web access to the farms can be found here
This fundraiser dinner was for the
Father Jack Foundation
The mission statement;
"to respond quickly, with dignity and respect,
to those in our community with unmet needs."
Father Jack was known as the Peace Priest
in the days when I first began working at the hospital.
I wish I had kept track of the many people he helped
provide food, clothing, heat, housing
during those years.
I would phone him for his help
during those years.
I would phone him for his help
and there was never a hesitation.
He found a way.
