Photos of the 2013 Chicken Breakfast/Entrega de los Pollos

More chickens than ever (2300 families), more despensas/food packets than ever (1164), more routes and more volunteers. Handing out of the chickens this year was a terrific time, as usual. Hearty thanks to all who participated, and to Yolanda for leading us in this effort for 21 years.

Merry Christmas, everyone! We are so fortunate to be able to share with others in this way. The smiles and hugs of the people on our route in San Antonio, their joy, was the best gift I can imagine. See below for photos from this year (mouseover to view larger; click to view slideshow).

  1. It looks like another fabulous year, Dianne! Those are impressive numbers and you must all be proud of your efforts to give to others and make a true difference. We were with you in spirit yesterday, and look forward to joining you and the many other volunteers next year. Have a wonderful holiday.
