Little Miracle on Hanover Street

Caitriona Twomey of Penny Dinners has had a challenging year. "We are all finding it hard this year. We have the same volunteers here since March and it's been a very, very long hard year. But the people who are so good to us, keep us going. And also the fact that we are so badly needed. We have taken it up a notch or two this year."
