The Dining Room is a beacon of kindness in Eugene! 🌟 I had the shrimp with bacon mashed potatoes, alongside corn and bell peppers, which were surprisingly delicious for a community meal. Dessert was a delightful chocolate cake slice that capped off the experience perfectly.

The staff and volunteers are not just serving meals; they provide warmth and compassion, making everyone feel valued. The wheelchair-accessible entrance was an added plus! While my experience was marred slightly by slow service at times, I appreciate the mission here: feeding and uplifting the community. A true gem! 💗
