From Galveston County Daily News

By Bernice Torregrossa

On a cold, blustery day, many cooks are inclined to make a big, warm batch of comfort food. Cissy Sandoval is one of those cooks. The only difference is that she’s making a batch big enough for about 70 guests.

Sandoval is the kitchen coordinator at Christus Our Daily Bread, where she oversees the preparation of breakfast and lunch for the homeless clients who come to the shelter for the hot meals, counseling services and compassionate support that Our Daily Bread has provided in Galveston since 1985. Running the kitchen requires both ingenuity and flexibility, since the shelter stretches its budget with donated food whenever possible.
