🇺🇸 This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

As we reflect on their courage and commitment, we are reminded of the importance of community, dignity, and compassion for one another.

At Miriam’s Kitchen, we remain committed to caring for our unhoused neighbors and building a future where everyone has a safe place to call home.

Today, we remember. We honor. We give thanks.
