The table was set with white linen, and, sure, the cups were paper, but the plates were china.
The meal featured grilled chicken breast with a dessert choice of carrot cake or chocolate mousse cake.
It wasn’t the wedding and reception that a family had planned for Omaha’s DC Centre, but there still was plenty of laughter and smiles.
Sixty-five homeless men and women from the Open Door Mission enjoyed a banquet Thursday at the DC Centre banquet facility, 11830 Stonegate Drive. The meal was provided through the generosity of a family that had paid for a wedding there but ended up canceling.
