	<description>Firehouse is an idea-driven ad agency and The Furnace is where we let out a lot of the stuff that lives in our heads. So read, play, comment and even challenge us and hopefully we will all get a little smarter.</description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Sunday before the agency closed for Christmas, the Firehouse account team served lunch at <a href="http://www.dallaslife.org/" target="_blank">Dallas Life Foundation</a> (DLF), a local homeless shelter for the less fortunate. DLF has been organized for over 50 years, providing its beneficiaries a place to do laundry, sleep and gain exposure to the Christian faith. </p>
<p>Working closely with DLF’s cooks (many of which were once on the other side of the serving lines), we each manned a station. I served the corn bread, which was a very popular item—when seconds were served, we were out of corn bread since no one had passed it up the first time around! But the hour ended well and the diners left full. We were impressed at how efficient that hour was—DLF’s cooks prepared (and Firehouse helped serve) food for over 200 people!</p>
<p>Hairnets aside, the Firehouse account team left in good spirits as well. We may have even found a new side dish for the next agency potluck—Greg’s special rice and baked bean combo! We look forward to sharing more community experiences here this year, in fact, coming up Firehouse is giving all employees a day off work to serve in the community. </p>
