Salads & More

Usually salads, bars, and other dishes provided by family and friends are enough to cover the luncheon. However, if there is a shortage of food, the kitchen helpers will — with the family's permission — purchase additional items from Ralph's Deli. A bill will be given to the family at the end of the luncheon.
