And that s a good thing.
For 25 years, volunteers from several local churches have shaken off sleep to arrive at the kitchen at the former downtown First Christian Church s Perry Center to begin preparing breakfast before dawn.
They call it B.O.B.S. Breakfast on Beech Street.
It s a program that has stood the test of time, especially continuing its mission during a pandemic.
On Sunday, the program, based at 301 Beech St., marks its 25th anniversary. It is based on a program called Breakfast on the Boulevard in Edmond, Oklahoma.
The party began early, with 60 donors pledging almost $11,000 to the program during Abilene Gives.
