McAuley House held its final cookout of the summer season on Wednesday, bidding farewell to the summer to ring in the fall! Folks lined up to get a taste of Chef MaryEllen’s and Kitchen Manager Larry’s culinary delights. Volunteers from our Lunch on Us sponsor for the month of September, Washington Trust, came out to extend hospitality, listening ears, and heartfelt smiles to the nearly 200 guests who came for lunch. Students from LaSalle were also present, helping to serve the many guests who come to McAuley House for their daily meals. Guests enjoyed hamburgers, hotdogs, pasta salad, chips, ice cream, and even music!

Pastor Mike and Development Associate Marlene whipped up some bluesy tunes for patrons to enjoy on the patio. We are so grateful for moments like these where our whole community comes together to share a meal, memories, and music. Here’s to many more!
