The bride’s mother, Kari Duane, said on Sunday that rather than cancel the reception, they invited Sacramento’s homeless for a once in a lifetime meal on Saturday at the Citizen Hotel, one of the city’s finest venues.
KCRA-TV reports that single people, grandparents and whole families with newborns enjoyed a meal that included appetizers, salad, gnocchi, salmon, and even tri-tip sirloin. Some even dressed up for the occasion.
Erika Craycraft arrived with her husband and five children. She says her family often struggles to eat three meals a day.
She says the Duanes’ decision to share the banquet with the less fortunate was a “really giving, really kind” gesture.
