Two cooks for the Three Kings

On 3 Kings Day at ‘Reachout’, Gill Savage and Jean Wallace pulled out all the stops to ensure the homeless enjoyed a special meal.


La Siesta Ladies Friendship Group support Gill and Jean with the expense of a weekly lunch but on this occasion the majority of the food was donated in cash or kind by others wanting to share in the event. Two young friends, Jennifer and Katherine Gray came along with their mum Jill and helped prepare and serve the food. Not only was a 3-course meal offered but each person received 2 gifts.


Gill and Jean offer thanks to all who share and care especially at Christmas. The homeless who rely on ‘Reachout’ must be in no doubt that there is an abundance of “Goodwill to All Men” (and women!) at all times (not just Christmas).
