2. Audriana Jones shares her path to helping those less fortunate as manager of the St. Vincent de Paul Community Kitchen and Free Dining Room in Santa Rosa's  Railroad Square at 610 Wilson Street. Everyday wholesome meals are prepared and served on 200 to 300 trays from 11:20 AM to 12:20 PM to homeless people with the help of many volunteers and those doing court mandated community service. Audriana talks of her spiritual practice to keep herself centered and her mind reset everyday to meet each day's challenges, understanding her emotional capacity, while helping to fulfill some of the needs of others.

About our Guest:   Audriana Jones works for St Vincent de Paul’s Community Kitchen and helps implement the tasks needed to serve 200-300 trays of a well balanced meal a day offered for free in Railroad Square in Santa Rosa. She has a passion for nutrition that battles the elements and dreams of a world where the homeless problem is exponentially less. After switching careers to helping the homeless, she has been motivated to talk for and protect those who are treated badly by the system and the increasingly harsh elements. She is also on the board of the Peace and Justice Center in Santa Rosa to obtain connections and resources for the community.
