Fran is one of the nicest ladies you will ever meet…she also one of my favorite B-F type people…she doesn’t seek the spotlight…she helps to help.<\/p>\n

From the Buffalo News<\/a>…<\/p>\n

From the day 25 years ago that Response to Love soup kitchen started dishing up hot meals to needy East Side residents, Fran Zalewski has been a mainstay in the downstairs cafeteria on Kosciusko Street behind St. Adalbert\u2019s Basilica.<\/p>\n
