Katherine Harkness ’25 remembers going to church with her grandmother, a woman who would, on occasion, cook meals large enough to feed the entire parish. During Harkness’ first year at the College of the Holy Cross, she was taken back to those days when volunteering at Mustard Seed, a nonprofit just two miles away from campus, dedicated to providing meals and support to city residents in need.
