WINSTON-SALEM — Central North Carolina Order of Malta members recently provided a home-cooked breakfast to families of patients undergoing cancer treatment in local hospitals.
Fifty guests were welcomed to “Breakfast at Dinner” Feb. 7 at the Family House in Winston-Salem, where they enjoyed pancakes, sausage, eggs, hash browns, plenty of homemade breads, fruit and muffins.
The guests, who come to Winston-Salem from a 500-mile radius, are families of people undergoing weeks of cancer treatment at local hospitals. At the Family House, a 48-bed home built in 2013, these families have a place to stay each night for little to no cost, instead of sleeping in the hospital.
Volunteers like the Order of Malta members provide meals for the guests – their way of helping those in need with food, comfort and love.
