Mayor Walsh shows Support at St. Patrick’s Day Parade

In My Father’s Kitchen

Saturday March 13th should have been the St. Patrick’s Day Parade but due to the Pandemic it was canceled for the 2nd straight year. John Tumino from IMFK was nominated for the 2020 Gael of the year. The Gael is usually someone of non Irish decent that is honored during the Parade for their philanthropic work in the community. Mayor Ben Walsh was in attendance to show his support and took the time to meet and shake hands with Kevin and K-Dog. The Mayor encouraged them with their turn around in life and told them to keep moving forward. To be able to be honored as the Gael is very humbling but what I have received from this honor is that by seeing me and the work we do the Parade Committee is saying they see our Homeless friends. Whatever we can do to bring awareness to the Mission of IMFK goes without question. To shine a light on the challenges of homeless goes a long way in bringing understanding and compassion  to our friends. Thank you to the Parade Committee for acknowledging our Mission.
