Bearing Fruit

One would think that Manna on Main Street takes a great deal of pride in what happens in our building. Seven days a week, people in need have a place to come to for friendly conversation and a hot meal. While it is rewarding to witness the many ways in which people are fed, Manna doesn't really take credit for that. It's really the caring individuals who donate the food and come to serve, who deserve the praise. I think about the words of Peter Drucker, the renowned management guru. He coined a phrase that fairly reflects our role in the community: "the fruit of our work grows up on other people's trees."
