Teaching My Son to Serve — Why We Show Up for Our Community Twice a Month

Two Saturdays out of every month, Tytus and I show up to serve. We're not doing it for recognition, we're not doing it for content — we do it because we genuinely believe that one of the most important things you can pour into a child is the habit of showing up for other people. And cooking is our lane, so that's where we plug in.

Last year I decided Tytus was old enough and mature enough to start coming alongside me for real. Not just watching, not just tagging along — actually working. Cutting, prepping, cooking, serving. And he has risen to it every single time. I'm proud of him in a way that's hard to put into words. Watching your son understand at a young age that his time and his skills are worth something to other people — that's the kind of thing that sticks with a kid.

Serving the community in Huntsville Madison Alabama

Another Saturday well spent — feeding neighbors and showing up for the community.

Every first and third Saturday, Tytus and I show up to cook. No matter what the weather is doing, no matter what else is on the schedule — we load up the gear and we go. It's become one of the most important things we do together, and honestly one of the things I look forward to most on the calendar.

The command is simple. Love your neighbor. For us, that looks like firing up a grill in a parking lot, standing over a smoker for hours, or setting up an assembly line to make sandwiches for a crowd. Food is how we serve, and food is how we connect.
