Each summer, the late Bill Mullan hosted hot dog day on the beach at the family vacation spot in Delaware. All of his children, their spouses, the grandchildren and their friends joined in this rather crowded tradition.
When we started JSM, Bill, a fellow daily Mass friend at Blessed Sacrament DC, said he wanted to do the same for our client families, so he’d write a check each summer. We were much smaller back then, but we still recall his kindness and generosity.
So, after we received a generous gift of Giant Food gift cards from the equally kind and generous parishioners at Saint Peter’s Parish – Olney, Maryland, we decided to bring back Bill Mullan Hot Dog Day at all of our pantries in June. We know Mr. Mullan will be looking down approvingly. God bless his memory.
