9/17/17 Soup/Salad/Bread Night at Dooley's 5pm-7pm

Weather should be making a turn and fall is on it's way.. Let's gather around the table and break bread, fill our bellies with soup and share our hearts with one another.

“We don't come to the table to fight or to defend. We don't come to prove or to conquer, to draw lines in the sand or to stir up trouble. We come to the table because our hunger brings us there. We come with a need, with fragility, with an admission of our humanity. The table is the great equalizer, the level playing field many of us have been looking everywhere for. The table is the place where the doing stops, the trying stops, the masks are removed, and we allow ourselves to be nourished, like children. We allow someone else to meet our need. In a world that prides people on not having needs, on going longer and faster, on going without, on powering through, the table is a place of safety and rest and humanity, where we are allowed to be as fragile as we feel.”
- Shawna Niequist

Dooley's will make one pot of Ham&Bean Soup.. Please bring 1-2 other soups, salads, and bread.. Comment below with what you will bring, so we can plan accordingly and have enough food for all.

Hope everyone is having a good week!
