The Interfaith Hospitality Network is a program of New Pathways, Inc., that provides services and transitional shelter for homeless families with children who have lived in Isanti, Chisago, Pine, Kanabec and Mille Lacs counties for at least 30 days. Volunteers are shown in the serving line during last year's dinner. (File photo)
