A big thank you to both Dominic Lombardo, Owner and Chef of The Mint and Pietro Russo, Owner of The Parlour, for their very generous donation to Judie’s Table at St. Luke’s Hospice House.  As the pickup/delivery person today, I can personally say your phenomenal spread was very well received.

I met a gentleman there with some friends/family surrounding him and he was very distrought regarding what had happened to his wife.  Apparently she  had a stroke while driving, which ended in a terrible accident.  They don’t give her long and she is only 70 years old.  He has’t left her side, i.e. has not left the Hospice since they brought her in.  When I set the food on the counter, his family/friends urged him to eat as he had barely eaten anything in days.  I told him, “that’s for you and all who are here”.  I’m not sure I know the words to describe what I saw in his face.  The word Gratitude doesn’t cover it.

Thank you both again,

Today we welcome Mana Nina’s to our generous list of Partners.  Thank you so much for your wonderful donation to the St Luke’s Hospice House.  I can tell you before I left the Hospice today, several families were overwhelmed to see such bounty laid out for them.  They had tears in their eyes.

Now, in the title I say extraordinary as it so amazes me how this charitable effort is just spreading so pervasively.  Some may cynically say these businesses are donating for self-serving reasons, good publicity or even just keeping up with the other restaurants in the Valley.  I am there with them as they prepare and assist the delivery and I have to say that I hear the emotion in their voice, quite a few even mentioning some of their unfortunate experiences in loosing love ones, their feelings are truly genuine.  Many of these restaurant and business owners actually come with us to the Hospice delivering and setting up the food in the kitchen area.  They also meet with the Administrators, Nurses, Staff, touring the facility, sincerely wanting to know all they can.

Again, thank you so much Mama Nina’s for your contribution.  It was a welcome site to many.

Mama Nina’s of Main St Bethlehem Donates to St Lukes Hospice House

Many thanks to Corked Wine Bar & Steak House for their very generous donation to Judie’s Table at the St Lukes Hospice House.  The wonderful food was so needed this day.  As we approached the Hospice, we noticed the parking lot was overflowing with cars…a very solemn experience.  Several families lost their loved ones on this day.

On Thursday, October 24, 5 to 7 p.m., Therapeutic Thursdays at Apollo Grille, Bethlehem, will donate $1 to JAACF for every martini purchased during the happy hour.  JAACF is a charitable foundation established to provide meals to hospice centers and to provide testing, early detection, awareness and education about Pancreatic and Liver and Colon Cancers.

The JAACF is creating an endowment that will provide a source of funding, and hope, for those in need of early diagnostic cancer screening such as CT Scans, MRI’s, Colonoscopies, and X-rays for early detection for unscripted and uninsured. The foundation also provide future funding source for promising pancreatic, liver, colon and cancer research.
