Meals
for Homeless Shelters
Our Fellowship provides dinner at Safe
Harbor on a monthly basis.
Safe Harbor is scheduled for the
second Sunday of each month. One
volunteer from our Fellowship organizes the menu and serves the
food each month and two helpers assist in the food preparation.
A yearly schedule is made in advance each January for the
year, and newcomers are always welcome to sign on as
substitute helpers in the interim. We are looking for as many
people who can make a commitment as possible.
In
addition to providing meals on a monthly
basis, we have made a commitment to Safe Harbor to provide other
items for the people living there. Items needed in the shelter include: men's toiletries,
paper products, assorted men's clothing such as socks,
underwear, tee shirts, and sweatshirts. There will be a basket
to collect any of these items in the lobby of the church.
What
you can do:
1. Sign up to provide portions of 3
meals a year.
2. Bring personal items to the
collection barrel in the sanctuary.
The
Schedule
Each
year we prepare a schedule of cooks. Generally, a person or
family signs up to be a Lead one time a year and a helper two
times a year. It is fine if you want to do more or less than
that, or if you only want to be a Lead or only want to be a
helper. Please note that chefs must be at least twelve years of
age to help serve at Safe Harbor.

Contact
Sharon Mayer-Conroy at email: safe-harbor. Tell her:
-
Your name, address, phone number and e-mail

Number of times per year you’d like to be

2010.

If you are a veteran volunteer, we will try
to meet your preference in scheduling.

A special note to new people – Welcome!
There are many of us that have been doing this for awhile,
and it is a very easy way to make a small commitment to our
community. New volunteers are usually put on as helpers
until they are comfortable enough to be lead chefs.
Thank you all so much.
