The weather was much more pleasant than our last outing four months ago, but the turnout of 50 people was puzzlingly about the same. For over ten years our church has made a hot lunch for whoever shows up at the community center in Redwood City. (The lead sponsor, St. Pius Catholic Church, makes up bag lunches for diners to take home--hence the name Sandwiches on Sunday.)
Experienced observers, including some of the diners, said that the number of people who show up has been rising to 80, even as many as 100. Perhaps the start of Holy Week and events hosted by other churches had siphoned off some of the usual clientele.
Those who attended took home everything that we and St. Pius had prepared. We'll continue to prepare for larger numbers. Better too much than too little.
