We extend our sincere gratitude to the Knights of Pythias in McMinnville for serving as a Saturday Sponsor for Saturday Morning Breakfast in Mac and for bringing their commitment to community service into action.
On Saturday, December 13th, 2025 four Knights of Pythias volunteers joined us in the kitchen and dining space, helping prepare meals, serve guests, and share conversation. The morning was marked by warm food, friendly faces, and meaningful connection. Their presence was felt by both our guests and regular volunteers, helping create a welcoming and supportive environment for all.
Partnerships like this highlight the true power of community—built not only through generosity, but through showing up. The Knights of Pythias exemplify what it means to serve with heart, and we are grateful for their support of our neighbors and our mission.
