“Let’s give a big hand to our cooks
tonight!” And so begins every evening
meal at Dismas House. In the past
year, organizations and individuals
have been on the receiving end of the
Dismas “big hand”. Some have been
hearing the applause once a month
for twenty years!!!!
Thank you!! You are the heart of the
Dismas organization. Truly, it is
around the dinner table that the
Dismas mission of reconciliation
comes alive.

celebration!” – Mary Lou Newhouse

sitting down for dinner. Everyone

“Having dinner at Dismas House is
a great experience. It makes you
feel at home and being a part of
someone’s life. I don’t want to miss
it...” – Natalie, Dismas House

“When people from the community
take the time to prepare a meal
and share it with us it tells me that
I matter and that I belong to
something. The fact that people
want to spend time with me gives
me a feeling of self worth and
makes me believe that I am a part
of the community.” – Norm,
Dismas Satellite Resident
