This is a funny little bit about Indian Joe and St. Anthony's who serves about a 1,500 meals every day for us without taxpayer funds.... (as far as we know).

History Note:
On October 4, 1950, Fr. Alfred opens St. Anthony Dining Room,
serving 400 meals the first day.

After realizing guests suffer from untreated medical problems,
Fr. Alfred creates a small First Aid Station in the DIning Room.

WE LOVE ST. ANTHONY'S and we are not happy about Marian's women shelter is closing. They do their operation very well, most of the time and even have a nutritionist or dietician that coordinates their meals and menu.

With the closing of the Haight-Ashbury Food Program (and cooking school run by Chef Dan before he retired last Christmas) for reasons we are still researching -- there has been a noticeable increase in demand for meals.

Indian Joe has become St. Anthony's Poster Boy. They made a postcard with
his picture on it !!

It looks FANTASTIC. Oh should we say Fab-U-Lous
