Miriam's Kitchen in the news! All over the news!
In my humble opinion, Michelle couldn't have chosen a more worthy organization - or a more fun volunteer experience... the crazy-pressure-cooker, vegetable-peeling, egg-cracking 6 am breakfast volunteer shifts at Miriam's are at the top of the list of things I'll most miss about DC.
I'm so glad she chose to shine a spotlight (and, to get a little saccharine, shine the amazing light of her presence - seriously, read the end of that Post article and tell me it doesn't bring a lump to your throat) on Miriam's Kitchen, which is such a model for treating guests with dignity and as whole human beings.
And having seen, even in a small way, how much Barack's candidacy and election has meant to the Miriam's "regulars" over the past year, I can't even imagine the impact she must have had serving there.
Also, if you're in DC, you should make like Michelle and get involved.

Katie,
Thank you so much for your kind words! Having Mrs. Obama visit with our guests was such an amazing experience and we are so grateful for your retelling of the story (on top of being grateful for your volunteer service and continued generosity).
From all of us at Miriam's Kitchen
