I worked at Inter-Faith Food Shuttle for 20 years. All the employees and volunteers who knew Ms. Helen admired her greatly. She made magic and love in that kitchen of hers! In a business where make-do is usual, the food she produced for her clients was always, always above and beyond. It did not matter who they were, or where they slept, she was going to feed their bodies and souls to the best of her ability. What higher calling could there be? Rest well Ms Helen.
