The Villages - November 2017 - 47

On any given Thursday, you'll find the
McCarthy couple in the bustling kitchen, dense
with working hands and the wafting aroma of
a hearty meal. Village of Springdale resident
Leslie Baer takes her post slicing crisp onion
wedges while Village of Sabal Chase resident
Ellen Stafford scours pots, pans and oversized
utensils.
"I never cook," Stafford said. "I use the only
talent God gave me - washing pots."
She turns to face a mound of teetering
cookware and grins as if it were a pile of
unwrapped gifts instead.
"Villagers are happy to work," Dana
explained.
As the season for thanks and giving
approaches, the Wildwood soup kitchen staff
will continue to keep food hot and hearts warm
in Wildwood.
"Around 30 volunteers will be here, greeting
people, handing out menus - making the
holiday extra special," Dana said.
